I've tried wine... Wasn't bad..just hit me very fast!! I have half heartedly logged my food the last few days. I had a Protein Shake and I had my hubby also pick up some Jerky. We are staying with family for awhile in between locations so it's harder than when I'm home. I gotta stop eating the terrible stuff they eat!

The first time I had a glass it hit me hard to. Had a nice buzz going but know I can hv one with no side affects...lol. Happy New Years everybody!!!!

Really? I have not tried any wine or other beverages other than Water and unsweetened tea, and just a little of that with some Spelnda. Oh, I do drink the diet lemonade at Chick Fil A when I'm working at the mall part time! But that's about it.....i LOVE wine, so I may give it a try for New Years!!

Hope it goes down well!!! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

Go Pack! They might actually blackout the game..it's not sold out yet.

It's my 18th wedding anniversary today!

18 down and life to go! Lol.

Does anyone have tattoos that are drooping? Mine are, and I'm panicking a little..Boob droop is out of control, and my navel is almost occluded by drooping skin....we can't afford plastic surgery, so I'll try to find a way to have insurance pay. Anyone else facing this?

Happy New Year to all! I'm 29 lbs from goal!

Awesome! Well the tattoo I have on my left boob is definitely droopy. Then again my boobs are almost totally gone just some skin where they use to be :/ I've had a funky smelly episode from a bit of skin closing over my belly button. I kept just trying to make sure I keep it dry and used soap and Water and occasionally a q tip with alcohol. It was itchy and funky but it's a lot better. I can't afford plastics either but my thighs are like roll up lamp shades. I could literally roll the skin up.

This is the year we reach our 1 year surgerversary!!! Happy New Year

My boobs are definitely droopy. Its like the baseball in a tube sock. Well maybe a crew sock lol...

My tummy is flabby and jiggly. Irs hard to tell what is skin and what us fat. If I lean forward it hangs a lot.

My inner thighs look wrinkly and loose. I have wrinkles on my booty.

Arms are okay....not too bad.

People say I'm skinny...I definitely don't feel skinny. I am 183 6 today. I wear a 14...that's not skinny....and I am still in the overweight bmi category.

Dr says 160. I would love 159...that would be half my highest weight!!!

That was the first letter I received from my insurance company, to let me know that they would not be paying anything for surgery! They reminded me that the surgery was approved, but you will have issues with sagging skin, etc., and it would not be covered.

      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.
