So I tried on a size 14 and they fit! Plus this morning I washed my back. I couldn't reach all the way up until I realized it today. That was awesome.

I crossed my legs today. They still don't stay there for too long but I couldn't do that before for even a second.

But best of all, the person I see in the mirror has hope for the future.

I got into the drivers seat of my daughters small car, and I didn't need to move the seat back! I've never been able to do that before.

My NV I am actually working a second job right now. 1 year ago my husband and daughter did all the shopping because I couldn't stand or walk. I now do 8 flights of stairs. I try to daily but don't always do that. I walk for 15 minutes a day at least. I am the happiest I have been in years. I thank God that the surgery gave me my life back! Thank you all for support and may God bless 2015 for us all.

Today my husband helped me recheck my measurements. We took them and recorded them in my journal two days after I started the pre-op liquid diet on November 17th, 2014 because a friend of mine had told me that she didn't take any measurements and that was one of her biggest regrets from preparation. Today, in comparison, each of my upper arms are nearly 3 inches smaller, my neck is a full inch smaller, my chest shows a five inch decrease, my waist is a full EIGHT inches smaller, and my hips are three and a half inches smaller!!!! Each thigh is three inches smaller, and each calf is an inch smaller. I am SOOOOOOOO thrilled with these results! Here's to dressing like a hobo for the first few months of 2015 as my clothes are hanging on me and i REFUSE to replace them as of yet!

Yesterday I went to Walmart and shopped for clothes in the normal sizes area. Of course I had to look for that area because I always went to the big lady section. When I got there I found a pair of jeans size 34 and oh yaaaa they fit and looked good. Thats down from size 44.... I started to dance and spin in circles, I was so happy. After I realized people were watching me, I stopped and said " Hey...I lost 134 lbs, and I'm shopping". I got lots of smiles and continued shopping. Yes that was a moment.

I've been able to sleep the entire night in my bed. No more recliner! I also broke the 10,000 step mark on my fitbit yesterday! Over 12500 steps in one day! And I crushed my sister in a five day competition for the most steps! ????

      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.
