Hi,

I was banded on 10/11 and have lost around 15 (or more) pounds. I have not weighed for a while, but have noticed that a lot of the clothes I havent been wearing for at least a year are fitting.

ANyway, I teach kindergarteners and today, I was up on a chair hanging something up on the wall when one of my little 5 year old girls walked up. She said to me that she had just noticed that I had lost some weight.

WHAT? I nearly fainted! That was amazing to me that a child that young would be observant in that way.

Just thought I would share.:clap2:

At the next parent-teacher conference, make sure you say how absolutely wonderful their child is :confused:. Congratulations on your weight loss. Getting back into your clothes is an awesome feeling. What are we going to do when we do not even fit into those "old" clothes we are excited to fit into now? Call me and we will go shopping! :whoo:

That is lovely :confused: I always find kids are completely honest with you so it is indeed a beautiful compliment. Congrats on your weight loss so far.

Looks like we know who is getting to 1st grade!!!!!

Good for you! Kids are brutual and will let you know what's up so you have gotta be loving that!

My guy finally said something on Friday night. I actually got a WOW, I can really see it in your face and belly. God love him b/c he knows any comment/compliment regarding weight could be a potential situation depending on the mood.:rolleyes

That was the validation I was waiting on, he sees me daily and for him to notice and actually say something was a big deal.

      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.
