Hi Dee,

I would like to join in on the July 4 challenge. My B-day is June 20, and if I mind my p's and q's, I can hit 50 pounds as a present to ME! Weighing in weekly helps me out a lot.

Mary

Hey!

I want to hit a goal by my birthday on July 27th. What is your goal for the 4th?

I know what you mean Bella. I talk about this all the time. I know someday I will get PS, but I have another 4 1/2 years until I have my lapband surgery paid off so I will have to wait until then unless something else happens.

Depressing to know that it will be 5 years before I can get this extra gross skin taken care of and my breast will keep sagging until then too. I think I would even be happy with my body now if I could have PS. I think I would be able to fit into a size 10 then (I am wearing a size 12 now) and I never even thought about wearing a size smaller than that.

I am getting to the point where I can tell a difference in my shoulders and face. I even wore a tank top when I went golfing with my hubby yesterday!!! That is a NSV!

Wow! That's a great NSV! I have the worst batwing arms in the entire universe, so it will be NEVER before I wear a tank top! I'm hoping to have plastic surgery done... sometime! I know the scars from the arm lift are pretty ugly, but anything will be better than what I have now! I could easily wear a 18 blouse if my arms were not so bad. I wear an 18 pants, but a 2x shirt. The extra skin can be so discouraging!

Not far from the office at all.

Thanks for the address! I'm going to check it out! I used to live down that way, actually by the airport, but I'd go shopping at that Cost Co.

Goodmorning Friends! To my fellow educators, Happy End of the Year Countdown!!

Dee, add me to the list. I would like to lose 15 lbs. I think given that it is summer and I will have the chance to pace my pain and go and come and work around the home without killing myself, I will make some good progress. I'll have my offical weight at Dr. K's office on the Tuesday, the 9th. I look forward to this weigh down challenge. I find the group momentum is inspirational.

We should call this one FREEDOM FROM FAT July Challenge or F3 = Freedom From Fat. Count me in.

DRUM ROLL......... I had a non-weightloss victory!

I woke up this morning with two of my bracelets in the bed and off my wrist.That's two gold bracelets, off my wrist, SLID OFF MY WRIST and into my bed sometime in the night. That means...my WRISTS are getting smaller!!!! We don't think about our fingers and wrists or neck size but because I make jewelry I am pretty tuned in to this kind of stuff. It rocked my world seeing that gold Bracelet, putting it on without undoing the clasp..sliding it on my wrist and then observing it DROP OFF my hand. So cool.

COUNTDOWN: 9 days until our gathering at Red Robin.:frown: I truly am looking forward to meeting you all.

I am bringing some Florida Happy Packages with me. So far I have counted 5 including myself. I don't want to miss anyone. Be sure and post that you are coming. I'll start a roll call again.

Who is coming to Red Robin on Thursday, June 11th?

PATTY will be there!!

Actually Red Robin is on the 10th of June.

Deb will be here from out of town also and we planned it on the 10th so that she can meet with us. I'm sorry if there was some confusion. I looked back over the posts and the 10th was the original date.

Who all will be there?

Well sorry Patty, I can't help you with a holistic doc. I know I good one in Albuquerque, but that's a 6 hour drive south!

Wanna go for a ride, Little Lady?

Hi All,

For those of you who caught my posts a couple of weeks ago....I'm fine and still on schedule for the 10th. I'm not sure why but I got embarrassed about the surgery and I went into super private mode hence the lack of posts. I'll see you all on the flipside and I'll tell all about my experiences. For now I'm going back into hiding until I have no reason to be anxious anymore.:biggrin:

I was anxious too! I think we all were. It's normal. Don't be ashamed. Everything will go well. Post anytime you're up to 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.
