Well' date=' I promised I would post this here first. The scale reported this morning that I have officially lost 100.2 pounds!! Feels great that I can FINALLY say I have lost 100 pounds instead of ALMOST 100 pounds!! I wanted the number for my 3 month yesterday, but the real goal was the end of the month, and that I did!

This weekend hubby and I are going away for a romantic weekend at a bed and Breakfast. Now we can Celebrate our 19 year wedding anniversary and my fist 100 pounds lost!![/quote']

Everyone at work keeps calling me Skinny Minnie. I can't wrap my head around it. They're all asking how much skinnier I'm trying to get! My 18s are too big and just less than four months ago I was pushing a 24!

It's probably kinda dumb, but the thing I keep looking most forward to for my future body, is wearing levis. Like plain old non-mom-jean jeans that I just pull on (without an elastic waist) button, zip and throw on a fitted t then walk out into society. I've watched women on tv shows and commercials do that for years and now I really seem to "want" that. I know, superficial - I should want to just be healthy or run 10 miles, or . . . . .

So my Nut told me that everyone that fails at Lon time weight loss added carbs back to their diet too soon and too much. I haven't had any bread, Pasta, rice ect since surgery. What about you all? Is your Nut as strict as mine?

I can't wait til I can walk into the Levi's store an buy some jeans. I can wear the levis from Macy's right now but I want to be able to buy them out of the Levi's store. When I hit my goal, I'm marching down Newbury st and spending like $300 on a pair of amazing jeans because I can finally fit into them. This is the reward I've planned to give to myself for hitting goal since I started this process.

I would say that my clinic's plan is about the most strict I have seen on here. Even after three months, I am only allowed one tablespoon of a starch per meal. AND if I choose a fruit or veggie, then NO starch. I am allowed 3 meals a day with no Snacks. The meals are only 1/4 cup, but I can now start working toward 1/3 cup meals, with the goal of 1/2 cup meals when I get to 6 months (but not BEFORE 6 months). I can start to add bread, pasta and rice back in, but again only one Tablespoon. It's tough because I see all the great stuff folks on here are eating, and I just have a piece of string cheese, and that's a meal!! But at least it's working!!

      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.
