A belated Merry Christmas to those in Bariatric land who celebrate! How have the holidays been for everyone? I haven't had much issue now that the Cookies are all gone from the cookie exchange I attended a few weeks ago! Moderation is key and I'm making healthy choices most of the time! Would love to hear how everyone has been! We used to be such an active post. What happened?!?!??

Looking good guys! I wish I could post a pic as I'm proud of my success! I'm a tad nervous as the only people who know I had wls are my partner and my parents! Even my two kids are clueless! We were out to lunch the other day and my 13 y.o son said to me, "are you still thinking about having that surgery where they remove your stomach?" I laughed and said, "I had it, how do you think I've gone from 241 to 159 pounds?" His response? "Mom, don't you think we would notice if your stomach was cut open and if you stayed in a hospital?" Well there you go. If you didn't know how ego-centric teenagers are, they are both clueless to 1) hospitals kicking patients out the day after surgery and 2) modern advances in surgery! They didnt believe me when I tried telling them the truth! Let them be clueless. I'm just fine not having others knowing the secret to my success :)

How is everyone doing?? I haven't been on here in a while. I was 274 when I started my classes. 255 when I saw my surgeon for the first time and now I'm hovering around 155. I stopped going to the gym because I was really comfotable in my body, but decided I want to lose a little more around my tummy. I don't have much lose skin at all. My boobs are like tiny floppy pancakes (while I always thought I was well endowed with a big booty and nice boobs, it ends up they were both just fat). They were the first to go. I can't find a bra to fit. But hey, if that's all I got to say that's even remotely negative then I will take it!!! My husband is well on his way to getting approved for his surgery and hoping to have his surgery in the next month or so. Well anyways....I'm extremely pleased with how thia all went down and miss reading everyone's updates...so check in and let us know how it's going.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around. Life is good! I'm down to 157! 6 more pounds to hit 100 lbs gone forever! Trying to stay on track but sometimes that chocolate calls my name. I guess eating such a little bit has come part of my life. I dont realize it until we go out to dinner (which is rarely) and I can hardly eat anything. Even when I order an appetizer size. I am SO glad I did this. I'm wearing a size 6-8 and I don't ever remember wearing that size!! I hope you are all doing well! This journey has been amazing ????

      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.
