Finally.......it's happened to me!



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report that I weigh less than my husband now. Geesh, that really bugged me! I am in the eighties now and that is a tremendous relief. On my way to the seventies next, one mini-goal at a time. Meanwhile, I feel so good in my body. Yesterday I spilled on my top and had to run into a store to buy a shirt. Grabbed a medium and it fit perfectly. Medium! Imagine that -- me? Yippee! I figured while I was at it I'd peruse the clearance section. Came up with a nice pair of summer pants in size ten. Last November I was an 18 (sometimes a 20) so this is tremendous progress. So pleased with how everything is going. It doesn't feel hard. I'm not on a diet. I'm becoming addicted to exercise. So many victories! The ongoing support of this forum has helped tremendously. It can take a while to get into the groove but boy, once there it's like soaring.....

Hope your excitement continues, friend :)

@@SarahRN482 I just looked at your stats -- way to go. You are really rocking this thing! And the smoking, too. So happy for you.

@@SillyAuntDi hi there friend, I knew you'd do just fine on that cruise! Size 12s sure are a nice welcome home present!

You inspire me, too @rose2014......

@@chrissy10 glad mine weighs 200! Not that it's a competition. Once I heard a description of a suspect on the radio: large white male 250 pounds at about 5'6' Oh great -- I weighed the dame as a great big guy! Eeek!

@@Bandista you are funny. I have never weighed less than my husband and we have been together for over 15 years. I think he has a gained a few pounds since my surgery because he eats my leftovers lol. I tell him its all part of my plan. If he gains and I keep losing then it will happen faster lol.

Woohoo! Haha you're just like me. I was so darn happy when my weight went down to the point that I was finally LIGHTER than my husband. I think it's been 5-6 years that I could not sit on his lap. Now I'm 11 lbs lighter than him, Yay!!

That has to be a great feeling. Hopefully I will achieve the same goal soon. My husband is right around my goal weight so even for us to be the same would be a victory!! Congrats to you!

      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.
