As of this morning, I am officially OVERWEIGHT!!

I started this journey almost 7 months ago (May 16 '13) at 263.8. I was a tight size 20 bottom, XXL top, 42DDD boobs and a BMI that labeled me morbidly obese. As of today, I am 168.8, only 8.8 pounds away from my original goal (which I've since lowered but...). I am in a loose size 12 but could move into 10s if I liked the pants tight look. I wear a size L top but everyone says a Medium looks better. My boobs are now a 36D and my BMI has finally hit OVERWEIGHT!!!

I am so freaking happy. I haven't been this size since college. I've lost exactly 95 pounds and my new mini goal is 100 pounds by Christmas!!

I am not a role model of eating by any means. My sleeve is very finicky and even at almost 7 months out some days I still don't get in 400 calories while others, I hit 1000. I am on MFP as abrowndog if you want to friend me, though.

For Breakfast, I generally try to have an egg with cheese and maybe some bacon if I feel like making a mess.

My lunch is usually on the road, so if I stop, it's most likely a thick Soup at Panera and if I don't, it's beef Jerky in the car and if there is a convenience store nearby, a cheese stick.

I try really hard to back off the carbs, and I don't waste the carbs I have on bread or Pasta. I might have a few little something sweets or some potato, but anytime I indulge in carbs, I have them on the brain the entire rest of the day and the day after.

My exercise plan is "as much as possible" I do 5-8 hours of martial arts a week. I do 2-4 hours of kickboxing as week as well. We just joined a new gym that is MUCH more exciting than our old and I plan on getting back in the pool as soon as I won't die of cold after a good swim. I am enjoying exercise much more than I did 7 months ago!

      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.
