Jenn - I just wanted to let you know that there are guys out there who can't stand these twiggy women. I was 185 when I met my husband (through Kiss.com) and, thanks to his great cooking abilities, I'm now 265! He says he loves me more now because I have some meat on my bones. Go figure. So, don't let your image of yourself stop you, men see things differently than women do and more and more of them like women with substance!

Have fun and go for it!!

Yes, I do live right outside of Houston, in Tomball. It's just a few minutes away... Let me know if ya'll are meeting somewhere, would love to join ya'll....

But I know that it's a bad thing because I don't want to tell my mom that I'm not eating Breakfast. That's my rule about things. If I can't tell my mom about it then it must be bad!!! he he he

That is a hoot about 'not telling your mom' so it must be bad!! Oh, if only my 'wise' words would stick with my kids like that!! And YES, do eat some breakfast....protein is best. Even like Tracy...just a Protein Shake or a bar is better than nothing. I tried a good one yesterday, South Beach Diet Caramel Peanut Bar. YUM!!!
and me, too! I live in Katy (real close to josie!) and I think that Chica lives just outside of Houston.... who else?

Yeah, Schexy...it was YOU! I couldn't remember who it was that was from Houston. Oh, let's try to get together!! WHEN? Evening after work? lunch on a Saturday? coffee in the afternoon??? When is best for everyone? I'm easy.

Morning Violets!

I am in Reno now, visiting w/ my dad. We go home tomorrow! It has been a long 2 weeks, and I've missed so much here.

I want to go to Vegas...count me in!

I've had to speed read through the threads...I know I've missed so much. I did not see Laura in Vegas...saw many brides though. I'm sooooo needing a fill, can't wait until Wed.

Everyone is having many NSV...I am proud of you all.

I've got to jump in the shower. We went to Virginia City yesterday, and today we are going to Pyramid Lake for a picnic!

I am looking forward to not living out of a suitcase for the next few weeks...then we go to Cape Cod in Aug:faint:. I'll catch up and post a normal posting on Sunday! I can't believe how much I've missed my daily dose of Violets!

You ladies rock!

For those that have tight budgets....SELL THOSE CLOTHES THAT ARE TOO BIG!!! You'll have enough money in no time.:clap2::clap2: Garage sales or Ebay is a great way to make a little cash.

I'm back from Curves. I know you've been waiting for me to check in. Got showered and changed into an outfit I haven't worn in 6 years.. wooo hooo. It's SO nice to have choices of what to wear now. We're headed out to dinner with our cruising buddies. Haven't seen them in 2 weeks since they jaunted off to Scotland without us. Wonder if they'll notice a difference in DH and me.. errrr... I... errrrr US!

Have a great evening. I'll check in when I get back. And I'm gonna follow those bandster rules someone keeps talking about.. :lol:

      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.
