Congratulations! What a wonderful achievement. I can't wait until I am able to do the same. Especially the crossing the legs. It's such a womanly thing to be able to do, so I can't wait!

Jennrus, I notice that your Pre-Op weight and your goal weight are the same as mine. I'm 5'0 are u also in this height range?

If you have before and after pics, would u mind sharing them? I'm only asking because I'm very excited and eager to see what i'll look like when I'm small enough to actually cross my legs again.

:-) Congrats on your accomplishment. It's crazy that something so small, (for others) is a huge deal for us.

Yay! Look at you go Jennrus! Congrats!

Aren't the small things the best? They keep me going. I can now cross my legs, not for too long, working on the muscles to get stronger. I can wear clothes I used to and I held onto either cause they were really nice and I wanted to be there one day or they are clothes I bought before surgery as goal clothes and they are fitting now!

      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.
