Today I pulled my legs up on the couch and......PAINTED MY OWN TOENAILS!!! I wasn't out of breath or forcing my body to turn and get cramps trying to hold my leg in place where I could finally see "most of my toes".

I have lost 70 lbs and being able to paint my own toes by far is my favorite thing so far.

Who's cool???? This cat is!!!!!

That was something we talked (and giggled) about at one of our support group meetings. It makes total sense to me how excited you are. Those little pleasures in life some people take for granted. Congrats!! :)

I just painted my toes this past weekend, I must say it was pretty painful! I'm looking forward to painting them without struggling to work around the fat! Lol.

      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.
