Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :biggrin: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!

:tongue2:Ha! This is good..at least I know I'm not the only one that suffers on the weekends!:biggrin: I write this after I just came back from meeting friends at a BBQ joint..1 rib, 1 salad, and a couple of pieces of fried okra! Couldn't resist the okra!:crying: Weekends it seems like I can't fill that void..even when I eat the same thing I do during the week..maybe too much time on my hands to think about what I'd like to eat!:biggrin: We will get there..we're strong and have been through too much not to!! :biggrin: Take care and enjoy the weekend!:cry_smile:

:w00t:Ok girls and guys! We are all entering our 3rd month and I know Lil Miss has been so aggressive in her program that she had mentioned putting up new pics!:biggrin2: Well I think we all have done so well that we should follow her train of thought and post more updated pics!:smile: I will probably have some made this weekend to post and I think it would be great if we all just took a few minutes to show how well we are doing and that we are conquering our errors and commanding our own destiny's again!!:w00t: I am so overwhelmed by reading how well everyone is doing!! :biggrin2: It is such a delight to go into this forum on most any topic and see such enthusiasm and positive accomplishments and everyone deserves kudos!! :smile:

That is such a great idea Queen. I'm sure I'm still a good few weeks away from reposting, but I just love to see everyone's progress.

Okay, to post pictures do I just need to code it like on MySpace? Or is it html? Or something completely different?

:tt1: Ok Ezma, you'll have to ask one of the computer gurus about that!:hurray: I have no idea how to do it but I know I somehow got my picture in on this thread a while back! Actually I think I just got lucky:wink2:! So all of you that know how to handle these hi-tech puters help Ezma (and me) out!!:Dancing_wub: Here we unite our knowledge again!!:Dancing_wub:

Okay, I know I still have a way to go but I decided to post them anyway. And don't worry, I know you can't really tell. I have a pretty large umbilical hernia that they won't fix until I lose weight and it sticks out so I hate that. That and the boobs have always been a bit prominent. :)

      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.
