For so many reason!

Surgery date- 3/23/16.

SW 272

CW 210.

60 more to go.....

Yep. I'm officially in the 10's! Next stop Onederland!

It amazes me daily how the weight loss speeds up and slows down. Seems like when I was in the 30's it was just yo-yo-ing through them. When I hit the twenties, went faster. When I hit the teens- zoom!!!

I've no clue how long it will take to get to 199- but we're in it for the long haul, so it shall do what it shall do in terms of time.

Today I finally packed up all of my plus sized clothing. There is not one piece over a 16 or XL top, and those are getting roomy.

I kept putting it off- finally piling them up in a corner of my room until my husband asked if I wanted him to bag them for donation. Nope, it was something I needed to do myself. I didn't mourn them- other than a couple of pieces I actually loved- as I thought I would. I was giddy cleaning out my closets today. Someone is going to get a great deal at goodwill on some beautiful size 22-18 Tahari suits! My closet is quite barren now, save for the few things I am buying to get myself through- mainly workout clothes that double as errand running outfits.

Next week we Celebrate our 20th anniversary. Instead of Vegas, or Nashville we're going hiking at Starved Rock here in Illinois. Now THAT is a vacation I could not have done even 3 months ago!!!

Congratulations! My husand and I had our 20th in April. We haven't done a whole lot to Celebrate yet. i have a while to go before I have my surgery. I'm in Ontario, and it usually takes 12-18 months from the date we're referred but I am so encouraged by reading other success stories. I was referred 4 months ago, so I'm getting there. Your success is an inspriation! Keep up the great work. :)

      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.
