I wore a strapless dress today for the first time since I was 8 or 9. A little awkward at first but ended up loving it and not fretting the upper arm jiggle! Also wandered around a grocery store in key west in nothing but a bathing suit... Previously would had a shirt or towel or SOMETHING covering that stuff up!

That's great - have a great vacation and lose weight! Vacations have often been dreaded by me (airline seats, roller coasters) but as a family we are already planning a trip for next year and I can't wait!!!

It was truly awesome! I still have 60 pounds to go but I fit in the seat fine, had extra room with the belt, could lay the tray flat! I transferred in Atlanta yesterday and had to go from terminal A to terminal E. I had 2.5 hours so I walked it instead of taking the train, was just a nice stroll, no huffing/puffing/sweating...my fellow vacationers gave out snorkeling before I did cuz they got tired. It was awesome not having to worry about who is be sitting next to or when I'd get a chance to sit down :)

      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.
