I love your motto! Losing 100 pounds will be so much easier for you now that you have had surgery. I have lost 94 and it has not been 6 months post-up yet. I am excited for you.

That was my mantra for 40 - went back to weight watchers for the 3rd or was it 4th time at age 39. Didn't happen - gained it all back. I'm your age now with much the same goal. We will start out journies about a month apart.

Well done!

Way to go!! I'm turning 50 this yeaar also and looking forward to feeling "nifty at fifty"!

I'm in the early stages of this journey..1 NUT appointment down, 5 to go. So perhaps December? Not sure how long this process will take me but I am really looking forward to it.

Any complications or surprises along the way?

Congrats again, keep up the good work!

      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.
