Hello and yay for short girls!

I'm Kim and I'm 5'2 1/2"

HW 229

CW 216

Sleeve Surgery next Wednesday the 8th!

I decided not to choose a GW yet because I'm 53 and post menopausal thanks to chemotherapy treatment in 2010 AND have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis so I'm not too sure what my metabolism is capable of. I'm going to give it everything I've got and am looking forward to getting healthy and off of some medication very soon. I just found this site last night but can't figure out how to navigate an add to my profile, etc so any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know about you all but I have been looking forward to being called "Petite" after I get rid of this weight!! Not that the fashion choices are great but it just sounds better than "short and stocky" !

So cheers to our petite and pretty group!!

      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.
