Well about a week ago I saw a friend of mine and a couple of days later he called me and said that his friend that was with him wanted to take me out and he told him I would go with out asking me I said are you crazy he said no I need to get out so I agreed but tried to get him and his girlfriend to double with us he said no she had to work ok we go to dinner ( I was just hoping I didn't get sick Red Lobster so fish is ok for my tummy) and then he asked if I wanted to go to the Laser Show and Fireworks at Stone Mountian well we had a very nice night so he's called me everyday since and sends me sweet little tex so we had our second date tonight and it was great this is such a strange feeling hadn't been on a date for about 17 years. He just wants to do everything for me open doors hold my hand to get up and in and out of the car didn't now guys still really did those things for you. Just makes you feel good and special 5 months ago I probably wouldn't have gone .

How did you get your ticker to show both BMI & weight?

As May got into full swing' date=' my exercise fizzled. With soccer, scouts, birthday boy, end of school year festivities we've been somewhere almost every night and weekend for 4 weeks. However! Scouts was over this past weekend (a few things this summer scattered here and there), soccer ended tonight until August, the birthday festivities have passed, and tomorrow is my sons last day of school. Tomorrow night is our first totally free night in weeks!!! So, I guess I'm going to back up and restart zombie 5K. I leave for vacation a week from Friday (Florida keys for a week!!!!!) and when I get bak I'll have to start getting serious again.

The awesome part here is that in the past, when life gets crazy and we're grabbing quick meals and not exercising (happens every October and May) I gain weight, this year I continued to slowly lose. I consider it success!!!!

      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.
