Thanks for the encouragement on my new bike. I will have to buy a helmut, our laws say a helmut must be worn. Haven't had a chance to shop yet. Hopefully this week sometime.

You are doing really well down 70lbs since Sept. I am a little slower than that, haven't reached a 30lb loss yet since my surgery day Sept 24. I ate way too many sweets over Christmas.

Well on to the New Year and hopefully better results.

Happy new year! Hope all is well. I haven't been written for a while but I've been keeping up.

Well these past two days were horrible food wise. I ate more carbs that should have. I did gain a pound which makes me sad. But only motivates me know to keep going forward.

Congrats to all the weight loss reported here in spite of the holidays!!

I drank way too much on New Years which for me that equals eating too many Snacks while buzzed. Then, this morning I weighed in and I have gained 3 pounds. I am pretty dissapointed in myself but I am back to work and focused. Hopefully, this year I will not fail my annual New Years Resolution as I do every other year.

Green- You are awesome! Way to go! I am so happy for you. I bet you feel soo good about yourself!

NGMA- I think once in a while is ok, otherwise we go crazy for holding out on ourselves.You are doing good just stay focused on our goal! Now if only I can take my advice. LOL

RESEARCHING- YAY on size12. I have a whole box of 12's in the garage and I am dying to get into them, I cant yet. I am between a 16-18!

Scared- we are kindred spirits. I LOVE Carbs too much Uggghhh. :(

ARTSONG- You are getting there!! So close to Onderland!

Rybecca- ME TOOO!!!

Brandy- You look beautiful and i got the chills just thinking about tequila! LOL ((shudder))

MANDY- AWESOME!!! Way to work the sleeve. I hear ya on the exercise.

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HELLO TO ANYONE I MISSED!!

I have 4. They are fading every day. 3 or 5 would not make a big difference to me though since I just had my gallbladder out last year and have 3 from that!

I have 5. Three of which are very small. Only one still looks bad, but it did rip open. The rest are fading nicely. My doctor said to keep them from the sun for 6-12 months and they will fade greatly.

      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.
