Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I've been trying to keep up, it's just this school year, of all the years I've been teaching, has been the craziest. With the weather, the paperwork and the low pay - no raise for 5 yrs- I'm working more at my part time jobs and it doesn't leave me much time for anything or anyone else. Just wanted to check in and say hello, and it's almost our "surgerversary" month!! Exciting!!!

Sorry you have to work so hard! Sucks that the country can't get the pay right for jobs that deserve it! Seems like everyone is kinda moving on, and while that's OK, I miss ya all!! ????

Been off of here for a long while. But needed to get an extra boost as it is coming up on that year mark! I am slightly nerves about myappoint next week. I don't know why. I do feel great about where I am. And ran into an old boss today. Who thought my husband was walking around with another woman. That was fantastic!

Happy Saturday! I'm in a big time rut lately. Hit the 199 mark and since then haven't seen it again. My weight fluctuates up as far as 204 no matter what I do. I've tried liquids a day, eating very healthy, and no snacking. Nothing seems to work. Cant wait to see the nutritionist so i can pick her brain. Wantednto lose at least 30 more and hope this isnt the end. Wish i could do some hard core exercising! Should have my year follow up appointment next month, but I have to wait to see what the spine surgeon says on Friday. Don't want to schedule appointment if I'll be having my second spine surgery. Been having a lot of pain again, and was up all high last night. I want this to all be over so I can get back to being me. Hope everyone is doing well!

I think of you so often. I hope a second surgery puts everything in order for you. I just got out of the hospital ; I had a major reaction to all the medication I was on for my ear pain. No fun. Eating well in the hospital wasn't easy. I either ate string cheese and veggies or total crap, so I need to get back on track now. I really lost my taste for Protein, and I still need it to meet my daily goal. Time to get strict. My wish for all of us is that our second year is stress free and healthy.

Hey everyone! I'm on Spring break this week, just working on alot of stuff. Happy Anniversary to those in the beginning of the month! I hope you are all doing well. I'm at the same weight for about a week, now, trying to be steady and not gain. I never had a goal weight, my doctor did. I'm still having issues with body image and all the changes, but still NO REGRETS!!! I will deal with it. I spoke to my brother yesterday(he's an army sergeant) and we talked about who I was dating! We've never talked about that before. He says he is really proud of me, and I told him to find me one of those Army Buddies, he trusts to date his sister!!! Looking forward to hearing about everyone's results for their annual visit. Mine will be later in the month! Good luck to everyone, it's been an amazing year!! I love you guys!

      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.
