Drews! Wow! It is amazing how different you look! I'll have to rummage around for some good before pics. My cousin took some official ones a couple of days before surgery for me. Then someone stole her digital camera before she got them to me( 9 months later). There are plenty of fat pics of me out there.. I'll try to post them soon.

HI folks. I go to the surgeon today for an OFFICIAL weigh in.

I had a bad cheat last night. My MIL had emergency heart cath and stents at midnight and on the way home at 2 in the morning my hubby was hungry so we went to IHOP.

I ate 3 silver dollar pancake SOAKED in Syrup and one piece of bacon. Blew all my calories and Protein grams and had a cup of real hot chocolate.:phanvan

I was really surprised that I could eat the pancakes. But it is not something I would normally do.

By the way, remember I have started my own decorative painting business. Well I have just gotten an order to do 25 flower pots for a business that wants to use them as gift baskets for their employees. My first custom order.:clap2: I also will find out next week if I can become a dealer for an unfinished furniture manufacturer. If so then I will be adding furniture painting and refinishing to my product line.:nervous

Well gotta run. Will update everybody after I see my doc.

Well went to the doc today and I have lost 25 pounds in the last five weeks. His scales weigh five pounds lighter than mine at home. :)

So that was a little added bonus.

Gotta run going to the MIL at the hospital.

Good job Myra!

I am getting a little bit of an unfill tomorrow. I've been having problems with losing weight and as much as I am working out, I think I need to up my intake. I am also having a lot of trouble getting good solid Protein down. I've been getting a lot of my calories through liquids here lately. The nurse agreed an unfill will probably help. I've always heard the last 20 are hard to get off..wow that is the truth. I'll try to get an updated pic to post this week.

Ok, my 1 year bandiversary is 5/8/07. I'm in for 162. That is 9.2 lbs to lose in 6 weeks....

Hey Guys! I'm chipping away at my May goal... down another pound! Come on 210! I am doing cardio 5 days a week now and weight 3 days for a total of about 8 hours of exercise a week. Who woulda thought that I would EVER do that?

Alicia - How is the unfill treating you? Hope all is going well!

Myra - I know what you means about the undies thing... I've had to replace panties and bras a couple of times. I've gone from a 44DD to a 38D. I hope to get to a 36C or 36D. Bras are tooo expensive!

Drews - are you kicking roller derby butt?

3loves - how is that fill treating you?

Linda - How goes it? Have you reached wonderland yet? Hope so!

Duckie - Where are you? Hope all is well!

      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.
