Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

Well thank you Anna! That's encouraging to hear! =)

One thing I've noticed about a lot of your pictures here is that even while you were heavier you were out there living life. My problem has always been that I never do things because I'm "too fat" and I've been waiting until I'm "thin" to do fun things. Maybe you girls can inspire me to live life while I'm on my way down! =)

Hopefully this works. Here I am crossing the finish line at the Nike Women's Marathon on October 21st, 2007. I'm hugging my Mom and holding on to that Tiffany box. They give you a Tiffany necklace as your finisher's medal. One of the greatest days of my life!! This will probably come out as a GIANT photo....but oh well!!

I'm a photographer, so I'm going to head over to the studio in a couple days and have my husband push the button for my official "before" pictures. I don't really look forward to it. But, on the other hand, I want a TRUE before picture so that when I'm fit and fabulous it'll be as dramatic as possible. :redface:

Anyone in the Cleveland area want to swing by and get one taken, too? We can have a fat party! LOL

Hi everyone. Here is me at a little shindig in my golf shirt. Me and my huz on our cruise from a year ago, and me sledding this Turkey Day. It doesn't really look appropriate..., what I am doing with the sled.

      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.
