Boo - sounds like you got alot of excitement going on in your life! I go in to my 2nd visit with the ps on Monday - I'm excited so I know how you must be feeling, getting a date is so cool. Did he tell you how long he thinks you'll be off work? I'm really nervous about the time off. If I can get it done beginning of April I can take 2 weeks and then 20 hrs for the next 2 weeks but if its any later then that I'm probably going to have to wait until Nov.

We had a snow storm here again, so school is cancelled. Not like it effects me, since my baby is a senior. I think I might get my neices kids for the afternoon, they haven't been here for a couple weeks with all the company I had.

Have a good weekend. We are going to watch wrestling, hs districts this weekend.

hi everyone - has everyone left us? Or just too busy to check in?

Well I had such a great nsv yesterday that I had to come on and tell. We were on our way to watch wrestling and stopped at Chili's for something to eat. When we pulled in my dh said oh look theres someone from the lake (a sticker on the car bc its a private community) so we walked in an there were 2 of our members sitting at the bar, they turned and looked at us so I waved real big and nothing.

She was on her cell phone and walking toward us, and I'm waving ... nothing.

Meanwhile Don was sitting at the bar and looking right through me.

So as she's walking right up to me, 6 inches away, I said hey! She stopped and stared at me for a minute and I said how are you? She said omg I didn't know that was you!

So we said hello and sat down. She comes back over to our table and says Steph, you have lost so much weight I didn't know who you were. She said I saw you waving and I'm thinking I don't know anyone in JOhnstown she must be waving at someone behind me. LOL she said you look sooooooooo good, how much weight have you lost? I said 65 lbs and she said omg I just lost 5 and thought that was good, you look marvolous!

So that was nice. Then here comes her husband and he pretty much said the same thing, we didn't know who you were. After they left I said to dh, wow, I didnt' think I'd lost that much more weight since last time I saw them - which would've been Oct. - maybe 10 or 15 lbs? He said well 15 lbs is alot of weight. I guess 15 lbs is alot of weight when you are so close to your goal but when you have 100lbs to lose it doesn't seem like much. So that was really cool.

Then we went to wrestling. High school stuff with all the district schools there, half way through I got up to go to pee and on the way out a guy yells hey good looking! I turned (crazy to think they'd be talking to me right?) and it was an old friend of ours. He hugged me and said wow you look great! So last night was very ego boosting for me. Especially since I've been hovering around 165 forever. I told my dh that I think I'm happy at this weight, if I can just get the Tummy Tuck I wouldn't care if I lost another pound. He agreed. When I first started on this journey that was the one thing he and the girls told me, they didnt' want me to lose too much weight, and I think I'm at a comfortable size now. And I think my husband is proud to be seen with me.

So there you have it. That was my excitement for the night.

      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.
