Getting below 200 lbs has been one of my goals my entire adult life. This week, I finally got there!!! A little less than four months post surgery and I'm down to 197 (down 65 lbs)!!! I am so excited! I'm more than half way to my goal weight of 150, and I can't believe that another 6 months from now I could totally be there! I was also finally able to buy my first Lululemon hoodie, which I bought to Celebrate this huge milestone. I am sooooooo happy I had this surgery and how it has changed my life! This week people outside my close circle started to comment on my weight loss. People who work at my hospital, teachers at my daughter's school, even the checker at our grocery store all started complementing me. It felt really good to have people notice! We're leaving for disneyland in 5 days and meeting up with some family who don't know about my surgery yet. I can't wait for them to see the new me in progress! I'm also excited about flying on a plane without all the stress any worry about spilling into the next seat! Anyway, thanks for all of the support, and I hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving tomorrow!!!!post-204117-14170563140099_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563256478_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563449221_thumb.jpg

      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.
