Yesterday was what would have been my 10 yr anniversary. It was a long day. I actually volunteered to work on Sunday so my mind would be elsewhere. Yes I know, LAME! Working on Sundays isn't my idea of fun seeing as I already 7 days a week anyway. One thing however shadowed this day I wanted to forget. I am 3 pounds away from my goal. It has taken me a lifetime to reach this goal. I look in the mirror and I feel good. I smile. But I wish this moment could of been shared with the person I spent the last 10 yrs of my life with. We are now not even friends. She asked me to cancel her cell phone services and take her off my insurance. She is now forever gone and it hurts. I wish I didn't have to share my success story with this but it is what it is. I must now move on. I must now focus on the future. I hope to find peace of mind. Success with this surgery has given me hope. Maybe hope will lead me to my soul mate one day. I wish everyone success in their journey. It's now easy and life will throw you some major hurdles but the end result will bring you joy like no other. I am not a huge picture taker because I still have this small insecurity about pictures but I took a picture of myself last night and I did really for the first time in my entire life, feel sexy lol!! I know that may sound corny, feeling sexy and all, but when you've never had that feeling and then it hits you like a ton of bricks you take it. I don't care what other people think, I am loving myself for the first time and complimenting myself makes me feel good :) Ciao and a great evening to you all .. I'm ALMOST THERE!!! and YOU WILL TOO!!

You look great! :)

I'm sorry you have to Celebrate your amazing success at the same time as what would've been a huge life milestone. But as they say...onward & upward! My relationship has been shaky since being sleeved, so I can relate. Hang in there! Life is calling!!!

Looking real good my friend! :)

And the right girl is out there! I promise at some point in the future you will want to thank your ex for letting you go so you can find the RIGHT one.

I know I've felt like thanking my ex numerous times for dumping me so I was free to find the love of my life :)

I wish you all the luck in the world!! Do you go to any support groups? Maybe some single

Ladies in the crowd there that would like someone that knows what they have been through?? Just a thought! I hope you start feeling better soon. Your girl was probably jealous of all the attention you were getting and feeling insecure about herself??

      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.
