I don't mind being #2. :-P

Surgery 12/27/2012

Down 95lbs (+ or - a pound depending on the day)

30 more lbs to go to goal. My energy is finally ramping up. The closer I get to goal, the more I want to exercise and eat right.

Current weight/size: 151/ size 8 pants/size 10 top

Starting weight/size: 308/size 26W-28W/3x range

Highest lifetime weight size: 332 32W pants

Total lost from highest weight: 181 - size of a good sized man...OMG

Victory i claim from sleeving: 157 - size of a slightly smaller man... OMG

No wonder I have skin for two people... off to plastics in a week to get that body work done.

But, the biggest victory of all is that my life is evolving and changing in ways i never imagined. I have more friends, i am changing inside in alot of ways. I am healthy, I feel attractive and vibrant. I have become a very confident horseback rider since I am so much stronger. I can hike up mountains - I am so much fitter. And, I seem to be able to maintain, so far so good anyway!!!

I started my journey at 279 lbs. on 12/05/2012, I am 5'6 3/4" tall, I was a size 22/24 depending on the clothes, I wore a 3XL shirt and sometimes they were to small. I am currently 173 in a size 11/12 pants and a med to lg blouse. I still have about 20 lbs to goal weight, but I do believe that this is mostly excess skin. Looking to have TT and breast lift soon. I need a full body lift but can't afford to do it all at once.

I heard many stories of inexpensive surgeries abroad, I am currently looking into all of them. I had my sleeve in Tijuana with Dr.Almanza and I was pleased with his work. I wouldn't change a thing except doing it sooner!

      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.
