I'm READY!!!

Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients.

As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!!

I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear Liquid Protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase.

My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again.

Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success.

And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!!

The first 40 pounds I lost I was getting compliments. Now almost 85 pounds men aren't looking at me. Maybe they think I'm too skinny or anorexia looking. Idk but as long as my hubby is checking me out that's all I care about lmbo

I have lost 55 pounds now, and plateaued at 236 (grrrrrrr!!!!). For the most part all the comments are from fellow guys in my office. I have talked 3 others to seriously consider doing it too, inadvertently. I emphasis its an individual choice not taken lightly.

No comments from other women except the wife. She's raving and Friday was literally squealing over having a little butt now. I probably would get more compliments if I got some smaller outfits, but they are only recently bad enough that I need some new clothes. But Im fine with just the wife compliments. I spend my free time with work and Masters schoolwork anyway. And now squeezing in some exercise!

Its funny because I didn't believe her about the butt! I had to run and look in the mirror and squeeze it to believe it! Lol.

I wake up every day rubbing the belly in disbelief!

      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.
