UPDATE! Today is my first day back to work...I had a back to back meetings today & had to sprint from one to the other & I took a phone call while doing so... When I finally got to my destination I realized: I wasn't out of breath, sweating, my chest wasn't tight. It was awesome! I might have small setbacks but its moments like this that I am happy I made this decision. I just wanted to share!

I was worried about Jerky being to tough on my pouch, but this was great.

That is awesome. I had a similar experience when I rode to a meeting wit coworkers. We had to park several blocks away from the building. Not only could I walk the distance with no problem but I was in front of the group!!!!!! It felt so good not to be lagging behind.

So I broke down and went shopping yesterday. I had to get some shirts for my new job. I bought 8 shirts and 2 dresses but I bought them in 2 different sizes. Some I can wear now, some I'll wear later. Also the company provides coats, fleeces, and raincoats. I ordered them all in a smaller size because I figure by the time I need a coat I'll hopefully be able to wear a large.

I am running up and down the stairs at work now. I use to dread when the door rang and wait to see if someone else in the office was going. Now I'm the first one up to take another turn on the stairs.

It's Paying off Sunday I fit comfortably in my seat at church. I can remember when that was true before. Felt great!

Congratulations to all June post -ops! we are an awesome group of winners. the changes have just begun and like all of you i am amazed on a daily badis on the things i can now do again.

had to laugh at a change i noticed yesterday. in the shower and wsshing my legs and ( without my glasses) noticed a large bump on the back of my calf....oh sh*t!!! i quickly examined the other calf ......same large bump...double sh*t!!!!!.....then it occurred to me, those are lean toned calf muscles from all tje walking, havn' t seen.toned muscle on me for so long forgot what it looked like....sometimes im such a moron :-)

oh! i did find a plain greek yogurt at Target "FAGE" brand 0% fat 7 grams of carbs and 18 grams of PROTEIN....Good stuff.

AS OF THIS MORNING I AM DOWN 70 POUNDS!!

Sometimes it feels like the scale is moving so slowly, it is easy to forget how far I have come. I really didn't start trying to lose until mid April, and today I am 6 weeks post surgery. I still have a very long way to go, but for the first time in years, I feel like I have a chance of making this work!!

I have to share a funny...

Saturday I was getting ready to go to a retirement part. I put on a dress that I have NEVER worn. I bought it over a year ago on clearance and it ended up being too tight. So I'm dressed and ready to go and my 20 year old son says gee mom... what happened to your boobs? they are gone. My husband laughed and said yeah I noticed that too but wasn't going to say anything....

at least they noticed a difference :)

      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.
