Laura, my surgery is the day after we get home from the trip---I have to be at the hospital less than 12 hours after I land in Albq.!!!

You girls have me imagined much smaller than I am!!! I have always had broad shoulders, still do. And DD's to set them off! Not much in the way of XL works for me now---due to length---but hopefully after!

Terry, it isn't just you girls----it is the world in general I want to hide my belly from! My MIL has totally given me a complex over it, I will admit. I feel ok, if my shirt is long enough and full enough to cover it----but only then!

I know I was standing in front of the mirror, holding the flabby mess out of the way, going OMG I cannot imagine! I am going to have to show the girls this. Then I thought---Good Grief they are NOT going to want to LOOK at this!!! I refer to it as an alien, and in ways it feels that way, like it isn't really a part of ME. Weird, but I sure am anxious to get it off! If they get it off, and the swelling in the upper abdomen eases as he says it will---it will make a HUGE difference! My upper abs are full of fluid---which is a recent developement---one I read up on today---my lymphatic system is reacting to the amass of Fluid in the belly. It is NOT my imagination that it is growing, even as I am losing weight---it is pretty common. Which is what he was telling me, and why he wants me on steroids for a week before surgery---but I had a reaction las time to the steroids! So...he said I may end up with more extensive drains.....which won't be pleasant---but if it can be handled it will be worth it. He did say I would notice a huge change with a properly working lymphatic system----I began reading about it, then got sidetracked---tends to happen with a 3 year old around!

Well I am off....will think about consignment shops---but will likely bring things I already have---y'all have never seen them!!!

Kat - well I have some really nice XL tshirts that i'm going to bring, bright but not obnoxious colors, might even be comfortable while you heal.

I feel the same way, I guess it is hard to see myself being smaller - I was talking to my "step" the other day and she gained a ton - she was always small and got up to 175 *my goal weight* but lost most of it the last year but is in a size 12 from 16. I told her my size change and was just so completely embarassed I let myself get to that point. I'm so proud to say i've lost almost 80lbs but to tell someone 22/24... I swore I would never get that big and I did

Anyway, getting my fill and loosing again really helped want to be in onderland tomorrow for contest, but if i'm not, that is ok too, I will be for our trip and that was my ultimate goal I set for myself.

Love Ya all.... can't wait to meet you in person...

      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.
