Thank you, again, to everyone who has offered such kind words of congratulations and encouragement – they mean so much!!! I'm now entering the phase where my weight loss is old news to my friends and co-workers. As I've often said... If we do everything exactly right, eventually people will stop noticing our loss and our new size will seem "normal". Then the compliments that have helped us along the way will start to dry up and finally stop altogether. And that's part of the plan, right?!! That's when our internal strength (and our reflection in the mirror) have to keep us going for the rest of our lives. I pray that all of you will be successful too! Remember -- identify with the lower-weight person and don't look back over your shoulder in fear of what you used to be. That person doesn't exist anymore. And as I said, if you need tips just send me a message and I'll try to give you a thoughtful answer....

Rogofulm - what a great accomplishment! Congrats to you for reaching your goal weight! Many of us want to experience this too! I am looking forward to getting closer to my goal after my surgery on March 25th.

Good luck with the stretch goal.....I know you will do it!

Thanks, Mo! Stretching for 148 is tough and slow going, but that's okay. I'm pretty comfortable where I am, so there's no huge rush. Good luck with your surgery! Follow your doctor's program to a tee and always make the right choice and you'll do great!

      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.
