I'll be taking pictures of the airline tray and seatbelt if I ever fit. I stopped trying to use it years ago. Congratulations!

Glad you're having a great time! You've inspired me to bathing suit shop for my September cruise! Although my weight's coming off slowly (only 59 pounds in 3 months) I'm losing inches due to exercise & afraid if I wait till August the suits will be picked over!

I leave Friday morning for a week in the Florida Keys...I am not stressed about sitting next to a stranger on the plane and worrying about my flab busting over the seat and touching them. I have a new size 14 bathing suit that looks adorable on me and makes my waist look tiny and my boobs look great. I'm going parasailing with my 9 year old and am not freaked out about looking like a flying whale....I'm not worried I'll get too hot or have to take a break from walking. I am just happy and excited and feel like a kid at Christmas :)

I'm almost 1/2 way to goal' date=' about 60 pounds to go and I feel like, for the first time ever, I'm living my life and not just watching it go by because I'm fat and insecure. Life...is....good...

Thanks Dorian. I guess I'm a bit bummed because I only lost 10 pounds in month 3. Now, 10 pounds a month is far more than I would have been able to do without the surgery, it just means that I will be close to 18 months before I. Near goal, and, of course, the weight loss pace tapers off over time, which will just slow me down ore eventually. But I'm very happy I had the surgery!

I agree. I'm not totally happy with my loss either, but its more than I could've done without surgery as well. I also can't exercise mch so that doesn't help. At least it is coming off, and I feel good except for the back pain. Doesn't matter how long it takes, we WILL get there! ;) good luck!

      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.
