"Thanks for playing ball with us Mom. I can't ever remember you playing with us before." Those words were music to my ears after I decided to get out in the back yard with my two sons and husband for a game of wiffle ball. I hit the ball, ran the bases and caught my husband's fly ball. We all laughed and had a great time. Five months ago I would have been listening to that laughter from inside the house. By the way, the son that said those words is 13 years old! I am so glad I still have time to make some new and better memories with my kids. This surgery is the best decision for myself and my family that I have ever made. If you have not had it yet, you won't be sorry! It changes your life for the better.

from the mouths of babes :)

one of the most common reasons people say about having WLS, is they want to be around for their kids, grand-kids, family et al :)

you are obviously raising a "cool" kiddo :)

oh oh, you are gonna continue to "enjoy' the teen years :lol:

congrats on your weight loss

keep up the good work :)

So wonderful! It is a great feeling to have your child see you in a new light. The first time my 21 year old son called me "skinny" I thought I'd burst into tears with joy. Last week he grabbed my skinny jeans thinking they were his. I have been fat/obese most of his life. It was truly one off the best decisions of my life!!

Great NSVs!! Good for you all!

My very quiet, rather morose, 19 y.o. son told me other day that I looked nice and that he could really tell a difference. High praise coming from him.

That baseball conversation is one that I totally look forward to, been listening to fun from inside the house for way too long:(

      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?

      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.
