'Tis the season!

For the first time in decades, last Friday night I went to dinner in a beautiful linen sleeveless dress.

I still can't believe I did it.

And no, my arms did not look great. But they didn't look nearly as horrific as a year ago. And I was proud of myself and my arms.

I've also been struggling to embrace my bat wings.

Way to go!

You are leading the way!!

Better to have loose skin on the arms than fat, sausage arms. I am self conscious of my arms but they look better than when they were fat. I'm planning to wear a tank top this summer.

@@VSGAnn2014 Hi. I am so proud of you, and happy for you! You've surpassed your goal! Good for you!

One of us--that would be me--well, I've been naughty and hit a Carb binge. Doing well today though. Still want to lose 20 more. Overall, from 271 to 185-190. I want 165-170.

Again, proud of you!

Thank you, Dr-Patient.

:)

I am very happy. And a little nervous. This is an awkward, unusual place for me to be -- at goal. Every other time in my life I've hit my weight goal (I'm a brilliant dieter :)) I've sort of bounced on "bottom" and then floated upward pretty fast.

I don't really think I'm going to do that now. This is a real different feeling place -- no urges yet to eat "bad" things, etc. But it still really does feel ... awkward.

      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.
