Oct 3 i had my life changing surgery. I have lost 81 pounds in eight months. I am down to 161 at 5ft 8 in. Just one or 2 pounds from goal. I work out regarly and though I have cellulite, not too much flabby skin. I have lost a lot of hair, so I cut it and try to keep my Protein up. I guess my biggest fear is that the weight will keep falling off. That would upset my hubby since he loved me thick. And my padunkadunk is nothing more than a pud now. I have no recent pics but will try to get some. I am 10 pounds thinner than the last ones I posted.

Everyone looks AMAZING! !! CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm down 80lbs myself. I just had my first work flight and sat super comfortably in the seat on one of those little one seat per row planes. Whoo hoo! Easily buckled mine seatbelt with left over on the one side. I could actually tighten it quite a bit. And I could bring the tray down with extra room to spare and could cross my legs too. Felt like a dream!

This has changed my life.

Have my six month appointment today and don't you know I just got my period :( UGH! My check ups always seem to coincide with my period.

Not to mention I gained two pounds two weeks ago and was on vacation. This past week I lost the two pounds but with my period I am afraid I will be back up again. I am at 201 and just want to get to ONEderland already. It is like I am sabatoging myself or something.

Oh yeah, and I went out for dinner and frozen yogurt with my daughter last night. SIGH......

I am 2 weeks away from my 6 months mark and am down 66 pounds! It feels ridiculously slow but I eat sweets and never exercise. I am finally feeling better and stronger so I actually want to exercise now! Never thought I'd say that! I need to reel on tne diet for some personal events coming up but I know with this tool I can do it!

      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.
