Update: This morning I was down to 179.4!! I met my next to last goal on New Years Eve!! This was the goal I made to be happy with my decision to have the surgery (100 pounds lighter). Being only 5 months out I can't wait to see how much more I loose!! Hope everyone has a great New Years and everyone meets their goals!!

I drink slim fast high Protein. They have 20 grams and taste really good. I have some extra skin but that is expected since you loose so much weight. Mine is not too bad though. Exercising is the key. I don't go overboard and live at the gym or anything. My pain wasn't too bad. I was only on the pain meds for a day or two after coming home from the hospital. Just don't get frustrated. There will be times when you wonder if it was the right call to go through with it and there will be foods that just don't agree with you but it is all worth it in the end. I was scared too but I just kept telling myself I am doing this for my health and for my family so I could be the best mom and wife I can be.

Update: As of this morning I was down to 173.4 lbs!! I am 5 1/2 months out. That's 107 lbs from my highest weight. I am loosely wearing a size 14 pants and size large shirt. I haven't worn a size 14 pant since I was 16 years old!! So excited to keep going. Thanks everyone for the positive comments and support. It really keeps me on track.

Well its almost time for short season. Had to go and get some shorts and tank tops. I haven't been able to feel comfortable wearing shorts and tanks tops for sooooo long. Now I'm excited for warmer weather. As of this morning I was down to 158.4. I am only 8.4 pounds away from my goal weight of 150 and I'm only 8 months out!!! Of course if I loose more that's ok too. :)

I never wear shorts in public. I wonder if that will change once I lose weight.

      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.
