Shelbi,

Could I join you on your 12 weeks of no red meat, eating oatmeal and exercising? I'll need my tests redone at that time too. I am off all of my meds. My doctor didn't want me to go too long without re-testing.

:thumbup:ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I need the support and would love to see us both have fabuous lab results!

Dee: I KNOW i have the BEST parents. My friends have always been envious of the relationship I have with my folks. We enjoy each others' company and laugh hard and often when we are together. My mom's sis is 2 yrs. older than she and is just as ornery and funny. When her 4 kids (my first cousins) get together with the rest of us, it is one LOUD raucous family!!

Hope y'all have a good Monday! I have my art classes....love 'em!:thumbup:

Hey everone:

I have good news...I am nine pounds away from changing from the 300's to the 200's!!! Let me tell you I am NEVER going to see that number again..ever.

The plastic surgeon said I should be consuming closer to 150 grams of Protein. I bumped it up, and starting that night have been dancing the CAN-CAN.

I will not have access to a scale that weigh's me...I don't think. I'm leaving for Texas in a little over twenty four hours. WOO HOO. I'll post pictures.

My daughter is doing great. She said the baby has dropped low and she is getting mini contractions. Due date was the 23rd but I think she will go sooner.

:Banane57:AND It's especially time for me to play the piano and Mal to do her little dance! Go Mal!

:thumbup::rolleyes::thumbup::woot::eek::eek::eek:

Lap you have no idea how thrilled I am for you! Oh my Goodness! This is such great news! I feel like it's happening to me! You and I started at higher BMI's -- so I have always looked to you for my inspiration!

Honey! Grandma to be! You enjoy that time with your daughter and that new baby! Write us when you can! I'll be praying for an easy labor, a pink screaming baby girl and a Grandma who gets lots of sweet baby kisses!

Heck, the Party Aint Over Yet! It's only just begun!!!

Love and Hugs,

dee~

Lap - fantastic!!! and congrats again on impending grandbaby. Just got new pics of mine this morning, they are the best!

wow, I feel so much better this morning. No headache, no nausea, a tiny bit sore and that's it. I'm going in to work this morning for an hour or so. I even weighed this morning (couldn't resist) and have lost the 1.5 lbs gained during surgery plus 2 more. Woohoo! That's what I was hoping to see!!!

Hey newbies - even though the first few days ended up being crappy for me, this whole adventure will be well worth it. Everyone is going to do great, including me!!

The oatmeal/no red challenge sounds like a great idea to get those numbers in line. Wow, Shelbi, you are so close! And miss dee, I'm sure it will be really helpful for both your numbers and your weight loss. I think Dr. Oz calls steel cut oats a "miracle food", yes?

This was GREAT to read first thing this morning. Thanks Dee.

YES YES YES we did start out with higher BMI's which makes this victory even sweeter. There is no question in my mind that within two weeks I will crest that hill and start down the 200's. You are right there with me Dee.

I'm looking forward to sliding down that 200 hill and this time next year getting to the 100's.

It's all happening!

      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.
