My boyfriend can now wrap his arms around my waist and each hand can easily grasp the opposite elbow. That's an awesome feeling.

Just love those little NSVs.

You look great AMY and great steady loss! Way to go. Just your eyes look bigger and it's funny but you are like me, you look like you lost weight in your nose too! :whoo: I carry my weight absolutely evenly everywhere...I swear my ear lobes are fatter now! I'm pre banded ...it's encouraging to see your happy face!

I dressed up for halloween and went out dancing...and had a great time...sober. I wouldn't have done one of those things last year at this time, never mind all of them. I love that I am more social now.

Hello proper size 12. This is my goal size. Now I just need to lose the muffin top.

Hell ya, I can wear baggy pants for 10 more pounds too. It is kind of handy not to use the zipper. I feel like a toddler, pulling my pants down without unzipping.

I LOVE that my jeans don't wear out huge holes in between my thighs anymore.....:(

Amen, to that.

I love that I now get acused of getting a boob job, now that my fat rolls aren't competing with my huge boobs.:Banane20:

.... which would be ??????

As I tell them, I'm genetically blessed as far as the arms go. I do work out (Group Power barbell class 2x weekly & 1x weekly Cybex routine), but my arm definition comes as much from my Daddy as anthing else! (Unfortunately I also got my mom's big ol' butt.)

Its a glorious 28 degrees celcius in Melbourne today, almost summer, its sunshiny.

First I managed to fake tan my entire body without using $60 worth of St Tropez in one hit - its AMAZING how much longer the bottles last now, at least 5 full body applications more. So I'm glowing brown. And I slipped into a little mini skirt and a shoe string top. There's no part of me that I have to hide, be self conscious about. I dont have to sweat under sleeves and long pants, it just feels soooooo good!

I come from Houston--RAINY! and have had these realll cute black rudder mud boots with bright pink polka dots on them..love them. When I bought them, I cut slits at the top bc my calves were too big to fit in...put them on the other day and wore them half the day until I notice that my jeans were tucked inside of them..and my legs were moving around inside of them..they now come off without stripping back rubber!!!

I was in a hurry the other day, and ran down the street to talk to someone,,ran without realizeing it..YES!!!

I can hike my foot of the back of my tailgate and pull my butt into the truck..no longer is it the sit, roll up to knees and pull up routine for me!!

I live on a hill. I used to walk the 'hell walk' with a friend and not be able to talk while on the upside. Yesterday, my friend couldn't talk on the upside, so I gabbed the whole way.

So today the little thing is that I can walk up this huge hill, and without that extra 98 pounds, it seems like a breeze. :clap2:

My favorite things:

- Not feeling like I need to grab a pillow or coat and hold it in front of my tummy when i sit in a chair or couch

- Having to buy smaller belts and actually use them!!!

- Discovering old cloths in the back of my closet that FALL off of me

- Being in a dressing room and having to request a SMALLER size instead of asking whats the biggest size they carry

- Having to pull up my pants- not because they are so tight they hurt- but because they are falling down

- Feeling my hip bones!!!! (i know it is weird... but it gives me hope that one day I will have a completely flat stomach)

      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.
