Congratulations.......your right. Now maintenance. And the real test of fears and worry.

I am where you are too and fear of gaining it back is an every hour emotion for me. Even though I am now exercising again. I am worried that it will all come back on me and I will fail....

We are human with a lot of issues to settle and we will battle them constantly.

BUT! we made it and a celebration time has to be enjoyed and then work to keep us there.....You will see some ups and downs over this....

Have a weight that you will not go above. I chose 5 lbs. When I hit that I will buckle down and lose it again........

Your not alone in this part......You have traveled the new road and have succeeded. I am so proud of you and you look so good and happy.. And you should be! You won the battle........And you shall win the war over what brought you here.....

All the best sweetie as you enjoy what is ahead of you! :)

Congrats. All of that in just under a year.

RJ's - that is great advice about picking a weight. When I get to the maintenance point I'm definitely going to remember that little tip.

      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.
