Gee you looked great even before! I am so jealous you didn't have the upper and lower bellies! You must be really tall because i started at 98 kg and look nowhere near as gorgeous as you did when you started. And you look fabulous now too.

Thanks!! I'm not tall at all I'm 5'4, the pic doesn't put into perspective how big I was. My hips were 48 inches now they're 37

HIi again ' date=',thanx for your response ,,yes i have had the surgery on 3/19/13..i was down 38 last i weighed myself..like i said its coming off but not so so fast , but even though i wish it were faster maybe its a good thing for my body so it can play catch up. You are looking so amazing. you dont eat much ,and you exercise alot ,,i gotta start exercising (I hate it!!!))please keep me posted on your journey.. ;)[/quote']

Well done 38 is very impressive. You are doing well that's not slow.

I really don't eat enough I'm trying to eat more and more often as well. I still feel sick when I try and eat in the morning, even to the point where I vomit sometimes. Anyway it's something I'll have to overcome.

Just find something that you like doing, I hate some exercise too. But if you don't like running, try swimming. Maybe take a friend and play tennis or go to the beach. You could join a team sport or lots of gyms offer training sessions with groups of 4 or 5, they are cheaper then personal training sessions plus they match you with similar fitness levels so you can challenge each other and make new friends. Don't give up there's something out there for everyone I know it!!! You just have to find your thing! If you run out of ideas I have more hahaha

      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.
