This is my favorite sweater, I’ve had it for years and it’s a bit big now but I don’t mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I can’t handle thick sweaters.

1. My goal is to get into onederland….(no joy this morning) and then beyond. Mostly, I'm loving how fit I feel and I want to keep that going. Oh yes, working on lowering that BMI. Continue my yoga teacher training and gym.

2. Sleeve on 12/12/18. Still losing...slowly but surely. Current weight is 200.2 and BMI of 37.

3. Anywhere abs.

4. Right now, I don't know what sweater fits me so not sure of my favorite. I haven't gotten them out of summer storage yet. Will have to update this one later.

Okay so I’m in!

Personal goal: hit GW this month. I’m less than 5 pounds away.
Surgery type: VGS on 2-6-19
Weight as of last Friday was 158.8. BMI 24.9 (finally NORMAL range)
I’m going to choose anywhere abs
Honestly don’t have a fave sweater bc this is my first fall PO. prior to this year, I didn’t have many sweaters bc I’ve always been so hot-natured. Gonna need to find a fave. How fun!

Oh and because its October, I’m gonna put this here in honor of myself and all of my sisters who have battled, or who has had a friend or loved one battle this beast.

I know but I absolutely can't live without carbs... In every vegetable and fruit. I don't eat much fruit but veg and legumes are my forever diet so I made my peace 1+ years ago that I would be perfectly happy in this range forever if it meant I thoroughly could enjoy life ... And I do 😍

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?

      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.
