Hubby is taking me out tomm for my bday. I am gonna possibly try some! I love ribeye!! Would hate if I had to give that up like I've had to do with chicken. How is your hair? I've thought I was shedding some but Lordy today..globs of hair came out. I will be bald by next week if this doesn't stop. I'm ok with that tho I guess as long as healthier and thinner

I was afraid of this happening but luckily I have had no loss so far!

I wore my hair down today as I usually wear my standard ponytail. I think it's more noticeable pulled back cause the thinnest areas are at my hairline. Hubby and I have a couples date planned tonight. I was happy with my weigh in today. 43lbs and saw a bunch of my coworkers I haven't saw in awhile at my old job. Got lots of hugs and compliments. That made me feel so warm & fuzzy.

When I thought about what I wanted by having this surgery..I thought about all the things I was lacking. I wanted to feel good and feel like I looked good. Today I feel better than a long time and I'm not cringing in the mirror. I'm happy :)

You should feel good cuz you definitely are looking good! It is amazing how weight loss makes us feel so much better. I have had so much energy lately and now that my back is feeling better, I seem unstoppable! I was 254 today and my new size 20s were loose! It is so neat to see all my april friends feeling so good! We are rockstars for sure!

It's been a long weekend. Hope all my April peeps are doing good and had a great weekend. Did a impromptu night shift that has me thrown off. My son goes tomorrow and visits his grandparents and uncle who he hasn't saw in about 2 years for a few days. Tuesday is my bday and hopefully can unwind with the hubby a bit. He's still pretty immobile but he's feeling ok. Would kinda like to go try on some clothes but I don't wanna buy until I'm closer to goal. Keep wearing the sag :)

Finishing up a new baby quilt for a neighbor and got asked about commissioning me to make one for someone else. Wish I could make this my job!!! Hope y'all are all doing good!!!

Happy Birthday, Alaina! I hope it is a fun and amazing one!

      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.
