Since I'm now officially slim/tiny woman. I want to reach out to those that are struggling with thinking about having WLS,and if you don't want to have WLS I'm still here for you. It's very easy to judge a book by it's cover with out knowing or walking in the other person's shoes. WLS isn't for everyone,and let's face it we are human. If we are here it's cause we have a weight issue/problem,and we want to live a long healthy life for our self spouse family,and of course kids,and who know our pets need some love from us.

There was one point in my life I was doing so great I got selfish,and neglected the group,but it wasn't with the wrong intentions I felt I didn't fit in anymore,but guess what? I fit in why? I'm here to inspire you,and make you believe,and know I'm a real person not a computer. I'm human. I have emotions. I have a family. I have goals. I have a life. I have kids. I'm your friend. I'm your support system. I'm here for you in good times,and bad times.

I send out a bunch of messages this morning for members I haven't seen post in over a year. Did they reach goal? Did they regain? Did they move? Who knows,but we are here if you want to become an active member again. This is not a site to bash,and judge one another. We are a group of people from all over the place here to support,and give support.

We are here to help you out. This isn't only about weight lost. We can talk about our kids,pets,spouse,future plastic surgeries. How you feel. If you have emotional issues. What ever is on your mind.

I'M YOUR FRIEND. I'M HERE TO HELP & INSPIRE YOU. Message me ask me questions post it here anywhere. As long as I'm living,and have my hands :) I will message you back. Any time any day.. I will get back to everyone as soon as possible. It's summer time in NYC so I do spend a lot of time with my kids,but be sure that I will check on the group.

have a wonderful day... A reminder I started at 211 pounds I'm now 109 pounds from size 18 to size 1... You can make this tool work for you & or have a NUT or doctor help you out. That's what insurance are for,and dietician if you want to do it the old fashion way. I don't blame you. Surgery is serious...

      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.
