My doc always told me to aim for an A1C under 7 and glucose between 100-120. I was taken off my Metformin (diabetes meds) at discharge from RNY i December and haven't checked my sugar since Christmas. I probably should, especially since I have an appointment with my PCP soon, but I know my sugars are in check.

My personal trainer kicked my hiney today!! We worked on arms (I told her that's my number one goal- No bat wings! I'm too young for that haha) and now they feel like jello!!

She said I am very strong, which I found surprising lol, and that if I wanted to I could probably compete in weight lifting competitions. This made me laugh hard because I thought she was being sarcastic, but she said I was chest pressing 70lbs (which I guess is a lot) and if I worked at it I could lift a lot more.

I will not be competing in any Strongman competitions hahahah

Ok girls, since I have just been hanging at the same weight I decided to try something a bit different to see if it would help. I decided to just drink liquids since I was going to be gone all day and then I had a big salad for dinner. Figured it couldn't hurt and I am really tired of eating period. Well, today I'm down 2 pounds. That's the biggest drop since before surgery. It may come back but I'm. Encouraged for today. Don't know if it just happened or something I did. I feel lighter today, too. Ohh, I hope it continues!

Personally, I would rather have a shake versus meat. Then a nice salad or fruit salad for dinner.

Congrats :-)

I wished I had 16s and 14s saved :-( But unfortunately I haven't seen those sizes in many years. I noticed today that depending on the name on the pants I'm 14 / 16.

When I lost all that weight between 9/2009-12/2010 I had to buy new clothes. Gave my bigger ones to my hubby's co-worker who had WLS. Unfortunately I ended up shoving the smaller stuff to the side and had to buy some new larger stuff when I gained it back. Boo! Won't be doing that crap again.

      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.
