hey Juli,

Well, I am finishing up some work getting ready for my trip, and than I am off to florida on sat...

I was excited...we went to a store called Goodys today..Leslee had birthday money....and I bought my first pair of HIP jeans.....they are so cool.....they botton, have pockets and everything. I had tried some on last night in the same size, but they wouldnt work...my goal is to get in a pair of Levi's...my all time favorite from the past...

WOOHOOO

On a diffrent note...my 19 year old was home today...OH my...I feel so bad for her. I am giving her my clothes....she has put on so much weight...she is in school full time with 18 credit hours and working 40 hours a week...living on her own, and eating awful.

She has been asking about the lapband but honestly I dont know if they would cover her with her age, etc.

She needs to try and work this out...I hate seeing her this big..it is so sad...and I know what it is like...

But anyway....

Woo hoo on the jeans.

Boo hoo for your daughter. I know they do the band on people as young as 16 and I think 18 is the more common age. It's certainly something to think about and your a good resource as far as how it really impacts ones life. Keep us posted about her.

Hi guys, well it's Monday and I am getting ready to go back to work. What a awesome vacation. I am so glad that I got to meet some of you, it really made for a memorable trip. It will probably take me a few days to get back into a routine. Wish me luck this is the longest I have been away in 8 or 9 years, so there will probably be a liitle bit of work waiting for me.

Good Monday morning to ya!!! Juli, I actually just took yesterday off and did abso-fuckin'-lutely nothing. It was GREAT!! We actually had a game day. We probably played 8 hours of games the whole day. We went and did a bit of shopping, I did my running and then back to games. It was great!! No tv on all day, and we spent some good good quality time as a family together. I know the day is coming really quick when DD doesn't want to be around us anymore. I hate that it happens, but it does. Went through it with son.

HP, congrats!! on the clothes!! That is sooooooo freakin cool!!!! That is too bad about your DD. I know it really hurt my mom to see me at my heaviest. She always thought it was her fault some how. Gosh, I love that woman!!! She is an awesome mom. You sound like you are too. I know I put A LOT of weight on when I moved away to college at 19. A LOT!! And it never came back off.

BG, What size are you wearing at 205? How tall are you? I am 5'7" and I am still wearing a 22 pants or 2x's. SOme things I could wear a 1x if they have a drawstring. Shirts I am still a solid 2x and might not feel comfortable in a 1x for some time. I think the last 2x's I got it said 18-20W. MOst 2x's are 22-24W though, I think.

      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.
