Haven't won yet, 10 lbs to normal bmi then maintenance forever, but had a major victory this week.

The straw that broke the camels back for me to have surgery was being at an amusement park with the kids last year. Got on a ride and buckle wouldn't fit across all of us. Had to get the kids off, but I was kind if stuck in so couldn't tie up ride longer ad had to ride alone while the kids watched.

Went back to park this week and 94 lbs and almost 10 months later ---no problem!

Best thing I've ever done for myself by far!

Rides do tell you something. Went through a similar thing at Universal, sat, watched, and waited. Now youngest granddaughter and I make everyone else wait while we ride the adrenaline spikers!

Awesome. I had a similar experience at a Water park a few months back. I think one of the most hurtful things about being over weight is not being able too do things with your children. I have a 3 year old and now I can't wait to take her to Disney world.

This was my big thing too! I actually went online and looked up the weight limit of the rides at the local Water park. It was 250 and I was weighing in at 299 :(. I'm 45 lbs down an planning a trip to Disney in 2 years! I can't wait!

      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.
