Today's win ... a co-worker just commented "Hey look at you sporting the thigh gap!"

I have a gap? BETWEEN my thighs?!??!?!

No ****

I went on a 4 day weekend girls trip and was so nervous about getting on the scale this morning only to find I am at my lowest weight. I thought for sure I'd be up a few and have to cut way back this week.

Happy Monday!

My win for today. I hit my GOAL this morning. Surgery last week of September 2014. Starting weight was 222. This morning stepped on scale for first time in a month. BAM! 124.8. Goal was 125. Weight I was when I got married 11 years ago.

A big congrats to all 3 of you!!! Great job!!

I know you are right. But I am actually a shy and sensitive guy and I don't want anyone to think I am bragging or being arrogant.

This speaks well of you, proof that you are a gentleman of fine breeding. Fine, I'll brag for you.

HELLO! HELLO! THIS IS MY RESPONSE TO WORKINONME -- I'm stuck here in the gray box with you. It's fitting, though, because my response is "That's quite a cozy workplace you've got there."

My family and I went for a 2.5 mile "hike". At the end they were all tired and saying how that was a lot of exercise and they deserved and needed a big dinner. They were saying how far we had all walked.

I was like, um... What walk? That was a leisurely stroll for me. I could have easily run that distance and barely been tired. I wasn't out of breath once! That was a tiny little bit of walking to me!!!

Hahahaha. Gosh amazing. I would barley have been able to do that without crying a little over a year ago. My legs would have been shaking.

Great thread! I

I've that every day can bring a new win! Today I am at 161. The last time I saw that on the scale was high school! I usually let myself rest from exercise over the weekend, today I found my self missing it! Never thought that could happen to me! Looking forward to doing some fun physical activities outdoors as the weather warms up. So great to hear everyone's accomplishments. Great job all!

I am blown away by all the responses. I hope all of you give yourselves a pat on the back. You have achieved all of this on your own.

My win for the day:

Owning who I am now. Feeling pretty damn good about myself.

ROFL!! It is a cozy workplace ... then again, I have worked with some of these people for 15+ years and if you know ANYTHING about the education field we aren't ones to hold things back. Definitely a "tell it like it is" group of friends here! :) Just glad that I was on the receiving end of something positive ... it goes both ways with that!!!

      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.
