I want to say thankyou to everyone. Before I had surgery you were there for me. After surgery you were there for me. Some even took the time to send me a pravite message to ask if I was feeling ok. During my weight lost you were there. When I wasn't eating you were right there by my side. I feel so love this is group. I never felt so much companion love & caring.

Now I'm 43 pounds towards my weight goal,and I feel I'm getting there sooner then expected. I walk around thinking i'm the best looking thing since chocolate was invented. I feel so sexy. Men are checking me out. My hubby is checking me out LMFAO...

If you need my love-help-support. I'M RIGHT HERE JUST FOR YOU... WE CAN GET THREW GOOD TIMES HARD TIMES & ANY TYPE OF ISSUES THAT COME ALONG... Together we stand!

Sending my love to all Maybelin {mamiof3kids}

That is quite normal believe it or not between swelling and Water retention the scale may show a gain. Please don't be discouraged! My best advice is to step away from the scale for a week or two. We trend to agonize over the numbers on the scale but they are just that, numbers! Try to focus on the positive changes you have been making in your life and know you can and will accomplish your goals! The healthier you is just around the corner... Hang on and enjoy the journey!

Absolutely nothing to worry about. I so agree with Mary - focus on following the protocol and staying away from the scales for a couple of weeks! You'll be glad you did and the result will definitely put a smile on your face!

      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.
