Ive been busy with my happy life, buying clothes and looking great. Men are taking notice again, but been mostly happily married 19 yrs. Im down 68 pounds since 1/30/13. I can eat pretty much whatever I want now just way smaller capacity. The scale is inching along. Im only 30 pounds to goal. My pic is old b/c now my face is tiny. I will try to update it soon. I wear a Med or L top and size 12 jeans, a long way from 2xl top and 18/20 pants. Im hardly trying and still losing. Not happy with skin but Im no spring chicken with elastic skin. Not sure if I will ever get plastic surgery or not. They say wait a year after goal. Even if I somehow dont lose another pound Im happy. :)

I too have not been as much as I used to be.. Life is good is it not? Yes for the first time in my life.. I like shopping for clothes.. and I love the compliments Im getting.. people calling me skinny and things like that.. still cant believe it.. ive been bitten by the clothing bug.. I find myself looking at clothes more and more.. and for once in my life..I cant believe im gonna say this... but I look good in jeans lol. Ive got 40lbs more to go to my goal.. yes its just inching these days.. but that is ok.. Im down 96lbs in 6mo.. so not bad at all.. I know I will make my goal wt.. I just know I will.. best of luck to everyone in this journey.. its a fabulous one at that.. Im on the brink of onderland and I cant wait for that..

      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.
