Good morning to all.....@ RDOACTV......that was my exact weight when I went into surgery..(223 at my highest)..I'm only 5'3".....you will fabulous soon!!!!! The funny thing was, when I went into the hospital and saw so many people much heavier than me, I felt so little. But I was still in denial about how much I had let myself go up until the anesthesiologist said "bye bye!"

Thanks to everyone for the nice compliments.....

@ Laserskingirl My blog is at www.queenofcrop.com you might want to start with www.queenofcrop.com/about The reason I am replying to all is because if you are new to this forum you need to be sure you have your settings set to see the signatures of everyone. This is where you have links to blogs and you can see the ticker tapes of people and their overall signature lines. It was months before I had mine set and it makes a difference. The forum doesn't really want you to put links in to your blogs in the comment section (which I completely disagree with BTW). For some reason I think they don't like the self-promotion. But I have only written my blog because other people's blogs are what inspired me to do this (along with the forum). I'm not selling anything so I just don't see what the big deal is. But I get my hands slapped once in a while when I do. But I often get asked this question because newer people haven't learned to turn the Signatures on.

Thanks again everyone. Have a great week!

Would love to know what you are having done.....can you email me? Shall we talk about it on my blog? I'm getting very excited but right now just looking at having the breast lift/implants done.

You look great! I have started my plastics journey as well and will get a lift/aug the same month as you. We will have to correspond about how it goes!

Queen, I feel the same way. I carry my weight very evenly, so most scoff and say I don't need it. But I have health and joint issues too. HBP (38 and suffered a ministroke), sleep apnea..ect. And ar 5'0..Im NOT a small girl. I can't wait. Keep up the great work you've done and I look forward to reading your maintenance adventures in Amsterdam!

      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.
