I reached one-derland today!!! That was a huge "little" thing.

I was told by a security officer that works at the same high school that "sagging" pants aren't allowed, lol! (I'll take the compliment as it was intended)

I dropped 3 pant sizes over the weekend and passed a bag of pants on to someone else.

Because of my and my husbands progress we have a friend who is beginning the process too.

I was able to wear a skirt with a shaper. I could never wear a shaper before and always had to wear a pair of shorts under a long flowy skirt. Today, it was an A line above the knee. I had a friend say that they forgot I had legs, lol!

I was able to quickly go up 3 flights of stairs without using the handrail to pull myself along, only breathing moderately hard at the top.

I am so glad I did this!!

Oh, and I finally feel like it's worth it to wear makeup again! That is huge for me. 1. I never felt like I wanted to draw attention to myself at all 2. My face is finally clear of acne. I've had it since I was 11, I'm almost 38 now. That is a huge little thing for me as well.

      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.
