First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

Great attitude! I agree; it IS amazing!

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :-)
Thanks! I've had to take mine off as well and I miss them so! Ill take then to the jeweler tomorrow.

I went shopping and got my first pair if skinny jeans. No more mom jeans for me. Also got two smaller bras. Good for me but bad for hubby. Lol

I can fit my watch again. Finally. It's been over a year since I last wore it. 30lbs down made the difference.

I tried on sz12 jeans at TJMaxx today and they didn't fit! They were LOOSE!!! The clerk must have thought I was an idiot when I gave them to her and told her they didn't fit but I was grinning like a crazy woman! :-)

My wish is to hit 100lbs lost by Christmas day. Today I am only 2.7lbs away. It's possible I'll get there! :-)

I hit 100 lbs lost today. :) not since surgery but from my highest weight of 267 back in 2008 when I started this weight loss journey. I am so happy that I achieved this milestone. 40 more to go to get to my personal goal of 'solidly' being in the 120s.

I'm still holding out hope of making it to that 100lbs lost mark by end of year. I'm 20lbs away, so it seems unlikely but I bet I might at least get close.

On another note, I'm fitting into some 1x stuff now. I was a 4x 4 months ago. Pretty incredible.

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

I had my eternity band resized. Have them so it and keep the stones.

Tomorrow morning we pick up my son at the airport. He knows I had weight loss surgery but the last time he saw me was in June, only three weeks after my surgery, and I was still over 200lbs. I weigh 135 now! I have lost so much weight since then, he won't recognize me! I can't wait to see the look on his face! :-)

I've always been told eternity bands cannot be resized. I will check into it. Thanks.

      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.
