I went to NY City yesterday with my DD and could walk and walk and walk!! I could also bob and weave through the crowds that I never would have been able to do before! It was sooo much fun!

I am so thrilled that I just have to share. I went for my second fill this am and while at the dr they asked to take my measurements. They took the waist (right at the belly button) and I have gone down by 6 INCHES!!! In two months -It is so wonderful.

Loving this band!

A couple of things recently:

-38's are getting loose and L t-shirts are the new norm. :)

-An old highschool crush who came into my work actually gave me her number and the look. You know, the look like "I actually want to go out with you". Oh yeah. hahaha. Any other takers? :-P

disclaimer: I do NOT have a 6 pack, loose skin and maybe some ribs yes, but a 6 pack, unfortunately no.

So... I finally have some NSV's.

- Buddy at work yesterday tells me that there is a big difference since he started here. He started 2 days before my Sx, he didn't even see me at my max weight.

- I had to buy new jeans the other day. Size 48 instead of 54!

- Speaking of jeans... I got into some old 46 waist jeans!!! Still a tad too tight though :)

- I just realized this morning that I have not had pizza in over a month! Ya know what? I don't miss that feeling of eating an entire large pizza in one sitting! And what happens the next day.:)

All of a sudden; everyone can see that I've lost weight!! I haven't lost a pound in 2 weeks yet it seems to have sunk in to some people!!

It's certainly flattering, a little embarrassing, but oh does it feel good!!!!!

      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.
