Yeah, Kimberly!!!!! Start getting used to drinking lots of Water NOW! and trying not to drink w/ your meals or 30 min. to an hr. after. It will really help you to already be in that habit BEFORE surgery. I'm so excited for you!

WEll, I have to tell you all that I am MOSTLY excited about the potential for new clothes! I am so tired of my black, khaki or brown clothes--i never wear much color--

My passion in the summer is Lilly Pulitzer--no plus size there, so my goal is to buy some for NEXT summer and look as good as I will feel!

I just bought a 2X Lilly-like shirt from Key West, but I need it for a party--my last fat summer party!

I can't wait till next summer!

New clothes, new bod! OMG! Laughing just thinking about what everyone will say!

Yes, the dark colors! Don't you feel like you're going to a never-ending funeral? And I really don't know if dark colors "minimize" that much anyway.

Taking a break from my shopping, ahem....hate to miss a good sale!

How long for you guys between "approved" and "done"????

They said they will call me to schedule, but I don't know if that means "wait by the phone" or go live your life for three weeks......

PARALYZED with EXCITEMENT!

Dacry--I will definately take you up on the shopping spree--Lord knows there is no shopping up here in the woods--unless you like Carharts!

Dancing a fat, nekkid happy dance the likes have never been seen before!

      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.
