My surgiversery/birthday next year will consist of skydiving since I'll be under the weight limit!

Awesome! I'd like to go skydiving as well. Thanks, I think I will add to my list of things to do after my surgiversary! :-) sounds like fun.

I want to be able to be taken seriously again. Feel as if that sort of slipped away the bigger and bigger I grew. Younger girls at work in much sharper clothes. We may have the same bark' date=' but the smaller ones are often perceived to have the sharper bite..........oh, and crossing my legs without a struggle :)[/quote']

I love Chicos clothing but I only fit their shirts.. I will buy lots of their pants for work for the office. :-)

I'm just worried it won't work just like my sleeve has not worked I was self pay for that and will be for this and that's a lot of money. I still don't understand how I can eat so little workout and not loss weight I eat about 800-1000 cals a day I'm 7 months now with my sleeve. I so hope this works o.0 and I hope I drop more then the 35 lbs I did with the sleeve.

      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.
