Well tonight I thought of another one!!! I take a class at night, and it's on the second floor. I will admit I've always taken the elevator because I used to be winded. Well tonight I thought, I in better shape...why not take the stairs. And I did. And I wasn't out of breath!! I have no idea why I waited so long. Maybe just out of habit. I'm going to take the stairs from now on. Let me tell ya, that felt fantastic!!!! Yay.

how is your recovery going how are you feeling? Thanks for asking. It's going well, but slowly. I'm trying to quicken the pace and the surgeon and therapists are telling me not to be so anxious. I'm still on the walker even four weeks out. I thought I'd be done with it but not yet. The pain however, is more and more manageable and for that I'm grateful.

I have another one! About 4 yrs ago or so I was diagnosed with asthma which was because I was overweight. And if I caught a cold or sinus infection, my asthma would kick in.

Well, since I've lost weight, I'm not saying I'm cured, but this is the first time in a very very long time when I had a sinus infection, it doesn't hurt to breathe! My asthma didn't activate! For me this is HUGE! And actually, it was one of the things which pushed me towards getting the band. Being on so many different medications, and not being able to breathe really scared me. I feel almost like a normal sick person! Hahaha. If my head wasn't killing me right now, I'd probably go and Celebrate by running or something.

I'm so happy about this! Anyhoo, thanks for listening. :)

I think I finally had another good one! Today I went down one more size. That's not it, but I still like it. My belly roll is finally smaller than my boobs! Yay!!! I'm liking that one more than the smaller jeans!!!

I only need ONE pillow to prop me up while I sleep..... I still use two (because I'm so used to it) but I don't feel like I'm dying when I only have one.

Went out last night and danced and danced and danced. Never once thought my feet hurt or sit this one out cuz I'm tired. I did sit some out if I was getting hot but there were plenty of people sweating so I know that was just the situation not me being out of shape. Met some new people and plan to go out next weekend too! (Happy dance lol)

      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.
