Pictures can make all the diffrerence...

Feb 2012 vs. Feb 2013

Seeing this picture from last year started the whole process of getting RNY. I didn't want my kids to grow up with memories of an unhealthy mom.

Had surgery 10/17/12 and I'm down 59lbs. Slow and steady wins the race, right? I'm gonna give myself one whole year to get to my goal weight loss of 125lbs lost. 66lbs to go.

So happy with my result so far. Went from size 20/22 to 14/16!

Awesome job! You look great! How did eating on the cruise go? Keep up the good work. Do you workout your arms. I need to do that. Starting to get bat wings. Lol.

Thanks Nicole.

Eating was good. I didn't feel like I was restricted. Ate a lot of fruit, cheese and tasted a little bit of everything. It was so hot so I wasn't in the "mood" to eat much of the time.

I didn't work out on the ship but once so I only lost 1lb during the cruise. I probably could've done more...LOL

I'm doing small weight workouts on my arms, I'm gonna eventually have to have surgery on them, they've been sagging since my teen years so there is no elasticity left.

Guess we shall see if I can help them in the meantime!

      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.
