random thought #1:

I'm kinda tired of people noticing my weight loss this week. I'm just ready to be a goal and have that be who I am, and not need to be congratulated so often on "lookin goooood". ....but maybe I'm being an ungrateful grouch?

random thought #2:

At high weight, I had a closet full of clothes from 24 to 14. I'm slowly getting rid of the bigger sizes as I work my way down. Was happy this morning that I was able to put my 18 jeans in the "donate" bag and slip on some 16's. Then I came to work, and one of my friends told me my jeans are too big.....smh

random thought #3:

I guess pretty soon I'm going to have to do real shopping and not just closet shopping. Actually not sure how I feel about that...excited AND scared!

Random thoughts as surgery gets closer:

What happens if this doesn't work??

Oh my god, I can't eat that for awhile can I...should I do this (usually I answer this one right away, YES)

I would love to wear a normal size pair of boots and a cute pair of jeans. Can't wait to shop at normal stores.

Also...I keep thinking about talking to my mom about post op plans. So she asks me about surgery...so this is a pretty easy one...they just put like a sleeve over your stomach...like a shirt? WHAT?! I stared at her for a full five minutes, then laughed for another full 5...then explained it to her. "Oh so that's why you need a week of. I was going to say, aren't you being a bit dramatic for them just hooking a garment over your stomach?" If we didn't laugh, we would cry right?

Random thought: I want to be able to bend over without holding my breath and/or grunting. I want to be able to squat down and not need to hold on to something to get back up.

My random thought of the day: As I was walking past Victoria's Secret at the mall the other day: One day soon I will be able to fit into something there other than their perfume!

      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.
