That final push

Angel, how did your surgery go? Hope you're alright. Why not start your own thread? Manatee, keep it up!

Karey-wasn't sure what forum to start a thread on. The PS one, Life near/or at goal or? I was also waiting on some pictures from my Doctor's office. The surgery went well, thanks for asking. I've been posting on the Dec exercise thread that I started, as far as my PS journey goes. Don't know if I'm brave enough to post pics of that but would love to post before/after pics in that forum. I just got the pictures from my Doctor's office in the mail today and haven't figured out how to post them yet as I need to scan them as they aren't on a media card. I'm hoping to figure it out but I'm also trying to do what the Doctor ordered and rest from this surgery.

Alynne: I'll check out the December thread. I think that you should post on the plastic surgery forum for sure. You can start without pictures until you feel better and just tell your story, every one will be supportive and you'll help others who are looking forward to PS. I'll be watching for your thread. Good luck with your recovery!

Congratulations everyone who is so close to goal. I am 10 lbs from goal. I thought I would never see this weight again. Now I know it really is possible with the band!

I love bandland!

Thank You! I have a feeling it's going to take awhile to get this last ten lbs off. I usually go on plateaus that last months, then drop a few.

I really don't even care. I really like exercising, and whenever it decides to drop again, I will be ready and waiting. I am excited that my gym is starting some new classes. It's always good to change things around.

Way to go Manatee!

I am still stuck and the scale isn't moving. I am going to be with my dad for two weeks. That's going to be hard since he likes to eat out so much.

I am going to find a gym as soon as I get there though.

      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.
