Laura you ARE a success in my eyes too!!!!

I remember my one year surga versariy and my surgeon telling me I was there, I was done, I was a success. Well, that was about 25# heavier than I am now, but i KNOW what he meant. The change from weighing 300# plus to get down to the 170s was astounding. I looked like a normal woman my age. I can't wait to see him for my 2 year now that i have lost even more and have had plastics. I don't know why i so crave his approval, but I guess I do! anyway, I totally relate to your feeling!!! congrats!!!!

You know Jane his approval meant so much to me too.. I guess I feel a bit of a god complex for him :P

I was in the waiting room and there was a few People in there two were there for their one week out and I thought to myself what a wonderful journey they have ahead of them!

I had to stop myself from talking like a fool to them!

I will go back in six months again and I hope to be even more healthy then.

Laura- you are a success! You look great, nothing wrong with shameless selfies when you are looking fab.

Next time, talk like a fool to the people in the waiting room - you will blow them away and inspire them all at once :-)

      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.
