Let me tell you I'm an introvert and I think I am slowly come out if that and I really am beginning to feel fearless towards what others think of me. I did this race I climbed over hurdles under bob wire in the mud pit slid down a man mad Water slide over the end if the slide to a mud slide I climbed a rope over the wall I trekked through the forest past a golf course upshot steep ski hills walk the plank climb a man made climbing wall jumped fire and fell trying to throw mud at my husband at the finish line and guess what I was not fast I walked most of it and I survived 5 k of steep hills and all the above. Last year before surgery I was so shy I wouldn't even walk in the mall I always felt people where watching me and judging . Today I could careless I am me and I love me. Last year I could hardly walk for two inured with out pain in my feet.today I can walk and not get tired. 101lbs gone forever and I am thankful for my ryn as it has given me my life back but better and no worried. Whoop whoop I i survived . I enjoy my life and I enjoy being me. Pictures are in my photos of today . Thank you for your support everyone . You people are wonderful

Isn't it a great feeling!!! I love my new life to. Everyday I am lucky to be alive! I am working towards life dreams and making them come true. Tonight as I was working I drove past the hospital that did my surgery. I remembered what it was like those first few days, weeks and months. The feeling of regret for doing this to my body. I sit here today loving every minute of it. I even got a high five from a handsome guy who noticed my weight loss today.

      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.
