Hey all, glad to see you posting about the 3 day cravings!!! I'm on day 2 with no ice cream... that stuff is like CRACK for me! I'm wanting it badly... but I'll make it! Did I post it here? I'm TRYING to say NO to ice cream until my birthday - 5/12. So that is just under 2 months... I REALLY want to lose 20 pounds by then.

Cute kiddo J!!

Okay, bought a new pair of cycling shorts last week from Performance Bike. (I needed a smaller pair....hooray!) I rode both days last weekend, and I am more sore than I have ever been! EVER!

So I examined the chamois...the ones I was wearing before have a solid chamois with stitching only around the perimeter, and it wasn't gender-specific. The new pair has a gender-specific "Y" chamois with stitching around the perimeter and two seams along where it would fold where your leg meets your body.

THESE SUCK!

Can any of y'all make a recommendation? I am just not knowledgeable about these yet.

P.S. Bought Bicycle Magazine today and it is the 2008 Buyer's Guide for bikes and gear, so maybe I'll get a clue there. I'd prefer y'alls input, though. It's always better to get first-hand testimonials.

Yes, BG...we missed you! And that's not ALL I missed! Not only didn't I notice when J dropped into ONE-derland (shame on me!)...but I didn't even realize that my BMI turned blue and went "normal"! JEEZ LOUISE! My heart leapt when I read that and I had to scroll back to my last post just to see it! What a dork I am, huh? LOL

Congrats, J! That is so amazing! You have come so freaking far! What I DO notice about your signature every time is your total weight lost...it is amazing to me every time I see it!

Congrats.gif

Awe shucks.

I just saw 199 this morning, so you didn't miss a thing. I nearly called BG at 7am to tell her, because I know she's awake then, but I refrained and sent her an email later. I certainly don't expect people to just notice what's going on in my ticker.

But thanks. Really, I went digging for old photos...and 8 years ago I weighed 338, maybe more. I didn't even want to look at the photos. So yeah, when I think about going from a size 32 pants (not waist) to a size 16, it's simply amazing!

And to be reenergized about getting to goal is fantastic too!

      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.
