Congrats for doing it all! It wasn't easy I'm sure.

Don't stress about your weight. The weight might come off a lot so easily the next coming months.

You did so many positive changes to your life and health and that is great. Stay stress free and enjoy the journey! :-)

Well, as my Quest to find Irn Bru lollies in Cheshire & Greater Manchester has failed, I've finally cracked. I've bought several million little bottles (250ml) of diet Irn Bru. I open one before bed, let it go flat overnight then drink it throughout the morning. I only allow myself 1 bottle per day but boy do I enjoy it.

I thinks that's pretty sensible Rosie- we've got to allow ourselves a little treat!

I keep a little stash of biscuits in for those really desperate moments (or where I am so below my calorie intake for the day!)

How's the weight loss going? I'm finding mine has slowed a little bit, but not too much. I reached my halfway point this week, which is a bit confusing because I feel no different!

Weightloss picked up last month but still not as much as I expected but I'm doing ok.

You've lost half the weight you aim to? That's good, I've only lost 45lbs in total. I don't feel any different but I can certainly see a difference in my clothes.

I'm at 55lbs down, which is about halfway to my first goal. It will leave me at about 4lbs to go to a "healthy" BMI.

I'm exactly the same. I got my first "you're looking slim" from someone I hadn't told this week, which made me think that there must be some difference!

Well done. It does make a difference when people start to notice.

I'm trying to up my walking but it's catch 22 at the moment. I prefer walking when the weather is nice but I've just bought a new convertible car so I also like driving around with the roof down. The car's winning right now, had a lovely blast down the Tatton Mile before with the wind in my hair.

My mid-life crisis has officially begun :) Think Patsy in Ab Fab then some.....

I'm with you on the Patsy and Ab Fab track!!!! I've got a black Fiat Abarth convertible and I LOVE IT. My mid-life crisis has not just begun, it is well under way and boy, is it ever fun. Gone is any semblance of being a mature woman and girl power is the only gear that I engage now!!!!!!!!!

I've bought an MX5 Roadster SE in Storm Blue with black leather trim. Girls behaving badly is my anthem.

How about getting yourself some ice lollie mounds and making some Iron bru lollies.

Never thought of that. I'll toddle off tomorrow and buy some moulds. Thanks.

      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.
