Well, my one year comes up in three more days. Here is how my stats have changed:

Weight 235 to 169 (mostly carrying remaining excess front and center)

Waist 53" to 39"

Bust 44D to 36B

Hips 48" to 41"

Shoe 9 wide to 8 1/2 narrow, no more diabetic socks

Shirts 24 (3X) to 12 (L)

Pants 24 (3X) to 14 (L)

Dropped 3 blood pressure meds, Lipitor (cholesterol), Metformin (pre-diabetic)

Lyrica (neuropathies and sciatica), hydrocodone (chronic pain in joints)

Out of 8 meds, I am only taking Wellbutrin for post-stroke anxiety

At my one year visit last Thursday, my doctor adjusted my goal weight from 135 to 155, so now I am only 14 pounds from goal. She said that after I lose that 14 pounds, I should consider a panniculectomy, which will take off another 12-15 pounds.

Smartest thing I ever did next to throwing a jerk to the curb to start my life over.

      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.
