Yeah Paula!

I'm going to have two baskets in my bedroom. Things that don't fit, but might fit my mom (who was close to my starting weight) and then after she has tried them on and rejected anything they will go to a charity party I'm going to host over the holidays where "fashionable" women clean out their closets and bring them to go to women who are trying to find employment and need a starting wardrobe. I'm kinda excited about it :).

That's wonderful! I know...way-back-when, I remember getting rid of the clothes was like getting rid of 'more layers' of myself. Just the same as with the quick weight loss, it can be a little scary! But mostly happy, excited feelings for you I hope :) Congrats

Paula, Paula, Paula :)

40 lbs down, how terrific is that - hope you are feeling proud/happy :)

great feeling getting rid of clothes that are now too big ;)

It is scary to give away bigger sized clothes that no longer fit you

You/we are getting rid of our security blanket - but....security blankets are for kids.

you no longer a kid/ but baby look at you now ;)

keep up the great work

congrats

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
