We just got 6in of more snow...but the good news is by Wednesday we will be in the 60's.. Hopefully my Water main will be thawed out by then, i been carrying water from a well about 150yds with two 5 gal buckets about 6 times a day .. I don't know how to add that to my exercise daily log so i just count when i go for my slippery walks. But I noticed since i been carrying water in the cold my appetite is up and that worries me. I think i have it under controlled but since having surgery it the first time i can say i was hungry. I been drinking a extra Protein Shake. But all jokes aside I was just teasing about praying for a blizzard... go to DQ.. It was just a way of saying Im so sick of this winter in a funny way and it wasn't intended for someone to go to have a blizzard, I just don't want anymore snow outside....i already started my tomatoes and pepper plants for my garden, not sure what else I will plant besides cucumbers and egg plant...but I'm so ready for spring..Happy Valentines day everyone

I am keeping a pair of pants and a shirt. It helps me to remember where I was and where I don't want to ever be again!

Great new picture!

I am thinking it is a great time to buy a new Eagles jersey and get smaller than you are now. Everything should be on sale now. :)

RJ, I think your choo choo is chugging into the station right on time! I chose not to keep any of my fat clothes. I want to look forward. I don't want to forget where I was before surgery, but I don't want my previous size to be a part of who I am today. So, for me, getting rid of all of the clothes was a symbolic way of purging that pre-surgery me and welcoming the new me.

On a related note, we filed our taxes today. We really made out due to about $2300 worth of donations. Nearly all were my old clothes. I took four mini-van loads of clothes to Goodwill. We itemized it all and put it in a spreadsheet for taxes. I used the lowest recommended price to figure out what to claim. When you are disposing of an entire wardrobe, it really adds up!

Quite the weekend!! We painted our kitchen!! Now, I have been working out nearly every day. Despite all this exercise, I have aches in places I forgot I had! There is NO WAY I could have done this one year ago. My Fit Bit says that I did not have any active minutes today, I disagree!

      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.
