Congrats!!! I wish you the very best in getting to the next goal!!!

As for me, my frustration level is soaring...waiting for approval from Aetna!! Original surgery date was 11/21, but of course it's been postponed to...whenever!!

Again, congrats!! I'm sure you'll get that next goal in no time!

Wow Girl!

How did you ever lose that amount in less than 8 months? That's incredible! Tell me your strategy...I started at 267, only 16 days post op, so I've got a ways to go, but your story is very encouraging!

U Go Girl!

:rolleyes:

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!!

Congrats! So happy for you!

I won't wish you luck in getting your goal. Make your own luck and go get what's yours!

Hehe, who'da thunk that being 'overweight' would feel soooo good?!

It's an awesome achievement, honey. Hope to be where you are in the not too distant future.

      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.
