Leaving Las Vegas.

On Saturday we dressed up for a night on the town, just like we do every year. Only this year over the course of the evening men and women complimented me on my cocktail dress or told me I looked beautiful.

What was more amazing was I FELT beautiful. I felt like I could smile graciously and accept their compliments with confidence.

Not because I was the thinnest woman in the room or the most lovely but because I am fighting hard for who I am. I fight hard for mental, spiritual, and physical wholeness and health. I feel strong. I feel wise. I feel beautiful.

I feel like for the first time in two decades my outside is starting to match the inside.

I am more proud of that than the number on the scale any day.

Small decisions lead to big changes in a year.post-254405-14582882606178_thumb.jpg

I haven't posted much but I went dress shopping yesterday because I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding this summer. It reminded me of 2 years ago when I was in another friends wedding how terrible I felt ordering a size 20 dress. Well I'm happy to say I'm ordering a size 8 this time, could get a 6 but I want to be able to breathe in it. :)

HW: 260

My goal weight is 155 so I'm so close. I have a lot of extra skin that I'm looking into having surgically removed. But I couldn't be happier with the results from my surgery!

      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.
