We don't need no stinkin' beaches! LOL!

I just googled "weight loss" and picked an image. I can't work up the courage to post my face yet. Even though I doubt anyone I know would be on a bariatric forum! Maybe it feels too "real" and I'm not there yet!

ETA: My ticker is a girl running through a lovely meadow, and not a beach, at least! Or maybe she is a beach, who knows?!

@ I'm all over the interweb for various things. I have not broadcast my WLS, but I have not made it top secret either. I am very well known in my field all over the world. Anyone who knows me professionally knows I was fat. So far, whenever anyone has asked me about losing weight, I just look them in the eye and say, "It's the result of clean livin'". That has sufficed so far.

Not the beach but headed to vegas on friday. Haven't been on a vacation in more than two years and need one badly.

I will take the dessert over the beach, this time.....

I will take dessert over pretty much anything. I guess that's why I needed WLS.

;)

Me too, lol

@ When I was a kid, the closest we ever got to the seashore was the state park lake. They had trucked in a bunch of sand to make a large sandy area for people to sit or play along the edge of the swimming area. So we called it "The Beach".

LOL, actually a Land Cruiser, and Nissan X Trail. Great fun cars for off-roading adventures.

Yes, the shrinkage is great, and I am really enjoying life again!

You look great too! I like seeing your photo updates :)

OK, off to bed now, getting close to the witching hour in my neck of the woods/beaches .....

Have a great Day!

I figured as much, but I couldn't resist taking a jeep shot. ;-) Thank you, it is very kind of you to say so, but I seem to be changing from a plum to a prune. I used to joke that fat people looked younger because the wrinkles didn't show. Now that is not the case, for me anyway.

      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.
