Can I just share how happy I am!!?? I'm 4 months out, 71 lbs down and 29 to goal. My husband and I could barely keep our hands off eachother before and now....OH MY GOODNESS! (Even after all these years and 5 kids) I've always been a positive happy person but now I'm that way on the inside AND outside. I feel so incredibly blessed. Thank you, Dr Michelson and NWWL for giving me back my youth and energy and body. Like I've heard hundreds of times......I only wish I would have done it sooner.

MommyofFive

sure you can share how happy you are!!!! :)

great feeling isn't it???

its amazing the different ways having WLS changes how people feel, inside and out

i've heard it said "you won't be any different on the inside, just because you lost weight!!!!"

in my case - i disagree

i'm not the same person "inside" anymore

sure i'm still wonderful, sweet et al :lol:

but............my self confidence - how i feel - no words for how that has improved

with that improvement - it has effected so much in my life, making me feel so terrific on the inside!!!!

due to this new found confidence i go amongst the living

volunteering at the hospital, going to the gym, just going around and around - here and there!!!!!

its wonderful

theres nothing like "Feeling so happy :) )

MommyofFive - so glad you are happy, enjoying your new healthier, happier life with that sweetie of a hubby, not to mention those 5 kids

if they are anything like you - betcha they are the greatest!! ;)

71 lbs - gone, gone, gone - down the toilet :o

FLUSH!!!!!

take care :)

keep up the great job

looking forward to seeing less and less of you!!!! :lol:

      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.
