So Happy for you Penni!

Shopping is now fun and not a chore!

Yesterday we were driving home from Disneyland and we decided to stop for lunch on Sunset Blvd. Then kept driving through Beverly Hills and caught the 405 north. Low and behold I see Van Nuys and rolled down the window and yelled "Hey Penni" Did you hear me?? LOL. Billy looks at me strange as I explain that you live there...So you can say I think about you guys all the time.

So that was that noise I heard. Actually I probably could have heard you. My back yard is literally the 405 freeway. I am so glad there is the sound wall up now. IT wasn't there when we first moved in. But I am so glad they put it up.

Pretty cool. You guys should have just gotten off at Sherman Way and dropped in. We were just around the corner from the 405.

Thanks donali: IT feels really good to get in that size. I haven' t wore that for at least 30 years, so it feels really good.

Hi Penni,

What a great accomplishment!!! It really boosts my motivation to try harder when I actually see results... either with weight loss or a wonderful NSV like this one.

You look so cute and ready to get busy with your workout... keep up the great job.:):D

Way to go Penni. You must be on cloud nine. I would have bought every color also. That is a great NSV. So...when is your next shopping trip for clothes.

So...when is your next shopping trip for clothes.
I actually went yesterday to Avenue and got a size 14/16 and it fit. That would be 16/18 in Target size clothes.

I got lots of cool stuff for my Jamaica trip coming up. I am so excited to be heading to the island mon.

Thanks guys.

I wish I could fit in your suitcase!
There isn't gonna be room for my clothes much less anyone or anything else. Not sure what I am gonna do about souveniors. Guess I will just have to get a carry on bag and bring them home that way. LOL!!!

I will be sure to post some pics when I return home.

Just as a teaser here is a pic of one of my previous trips. This is a pic of the ocean when we stopped along the side of the road for a fresh coconut. MMM MMM GOOD!!!!

      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.
