Great job!

Thanks. It feels great to finally be able to do all the things that I wanted to do myself but couldn't. I've always enjoyed being the "handyman" around the house.

Another NSV is finally getting my wedding ring replaced. It kept sliding off my finger. I went down from US size 12 to Size 9 and still it is a bit loose. I got a "temporary" tungsten ring and planning to get a new silver / platinum one for our 10 years anniversary next year 😀

I feel my tailbone more then ever. Sitting, lying down... very annoying. I'm thinking when I get my mommy makeover in a a few months I'll have them add padding if that's even possible.

SAME. I keep shocking myself feeling bones where I can't remember feeling them before -- yesterday I was adjusting my bra before my workout and I was floored to feel my ribs under my bust! Plus my collarbone, jaw, hips... they're all still well-padded but they're making themselves known!

I'm in mourning. Had to throw away my favorite pair of leggings this morning. They got retired to the "only wear around the house and not to the gym" pile a few months ago when they threatened to fall down during weightlifting. (I'm okay with everyone in the class see me fall on my @$$, not them seeing my @$$.)

But today I put them on and the waistband wasn't even touching me and I was like... even if I just walk slowly downstairs, my family is gonna get a show. So in the trash they went. 😭

I can't even just buy them in a new size; the company stopped making them years ago.

I went straight to the XL section & ended up leaving with Mediums & Large size clothes. I will never get used to not seeing an X on my tags! 20221219_172915.thumb.jpg.0ea11fb58ac76ba585b9c440c1fdd6d6.jpg

IKWYM. I hold up the 2XL & 3XL clothes now and they look so big to me. I have an inner battle that has me thinking I'm still in 2x+clothes when I'm in 16 and L/xl. When I started I was "outgrowing" 26-28. I can't believe I've lost 10 sizes in 6 months. I can go in the"normal" section and get the cute clothes. I'm in awe.

That is awesome! I can't wait to get my license renewed this summer. It says 350 on it and I was almost 50 pounds more than that when I got it last time. I have also never had my real weight on my driver's license and I can't wait to put it on there in August!

      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.
