What's interesting is that's a size 12 dress! Not tiny by any stretch' date=' but I feel awesome and would be content to remain at this size. In fact I'm nervous about losing more once I reduce my mileage and consequently my carbs. They have been dangerous for me bc I crave them again and I'm afraid of falling back into old habits.[/quote']

That's a 12?? I guess that would be just fine for me! I looked at an 8 in the store, and it seemed impossible. I hear you on the carbs. If I get to running marathons like you maybe I won't worry about them AS much but today, I have a healthy fear of them. :)

Pure luck! I run a lot, but nothing focused on my arms alone.

      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.
