I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans for my birthday- maybe a nice, stylish pair. Hard to find jeans that fit. Most major retailers think I don't exist. Grateful for good old plain Walmart. Their jeans are as basic as they get, but they fit- I hate buying cloths because there are always very limited selections. My friends think

I have no sense for fashion- I do but I am very limited.

Well, yesterday was my last fat birthday 55-by my 56 birthday, I will be able to shop at Macy's, Kohl's-wherever I want, God willing. My surgery looks to be Jan 6. Maybe next year I will buy a pair of skinny jeans????. Prayers and peace to all.

Well I wish you all the luck with your surgery and your next birthday. I am anxiously waiting to see the surgeon and get my surgery date so I can start my journey, too..

I'm with you, gwunderle! My 59th birthday is near the end of December and I'm hoping to have surgery that month also. I've already told my husband that I'm planning on being close to goal if not at goal by the time I turn 60!

I wish you all the luck in the world to obtain your wish for your next birthday.

I made it to goal for my birthday this year and am very happy because I can shop almost any where I want.

To be honest I kinda went overboard on buying clothes for myself but hey I figure I have no intentions of changing my size so I look at it as an investment. LOL

Once again the very best to you with your upcoming surgery and here's to a healthier and happier 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.
