Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I've visited the site but I thought I'd come over to share my recent success.

I just hit my 8 month mark last week and as of today, I am down a total of 86lbs!!! I'm beyond thrilled!

Please allow me to list all of the recent success that I've seen in non-scale form:

* down to a size 16 from a 24

* I was able to get on the rides at six flags three weeks ago (it's been 7 years since I've been able to fit)

* I fit on the plane, comfortably

* I've been working out 2-3 times a week

* I'm happy!

Just needed to share, hope everyone is well!

I was so thrilled when I slipped into a size 16, I was also a 22 moving up to 24 when I started. I cried my eyes out in the dressing room that day, in shock. I just finally got rid of 6 bags of clothes that I have not worn in months, but it was so hard to just let them go. Being that I am now comfortable in a 14, the size 22 just cannot work anymore with me ????

Congrats!

      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.
