That's a real special story about you and your sisters. I can't wait for them to hug you and get their arms around you also.

SpecialK that is so encouraging to hear how your family is pulling for you. I know they will love putting their arms all the way around you. I hope your stress level eases a bit so you can relax. Good for you sticking to your workouts. That is the part of this equation we can't overlook.

Don't go by a scale that you don't use on a regular basis. Gym scales are notorious for being out of balance.

Hi Shamrocks,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still trucking! I had to move out into the country for work, I don't have the internet so I don't get to check anything at all very often! I miss hearing the stories, the triumphs, the tears and the challenges of our group. We are almost hitting our one year anniversary, mine is only 2 weeks away. I hope everyone is still on track and staying strong. Miss you all!

Much love and best wishes,

Annie xoxox

Ewww, I am so with you guys today. I really tried, but my Monday was Purgatory. My other-work-half is on vaca in Florida this week (yes, I hate her life right now), so I was slammed from the moment I walked into work until the moment I left. Let me rephrase, 'the moment I left' means the moment that I walked into my front door and plugged in my laptop, only to continue to work until well after 7pm. I was actually in my gym clothes (I am lucky to have a fully equipped gym at work) when I received an asap order for 12 people, to start tonight. Oh well, there goes fate making sure that I don't get to the gym yet again. I am trying to take solace in the fact that my eating was very much in line today, and I moved around every chance I got. Tomorrow is another day (thanks Scarlett!), so I will change into my gym clothes yet again tomorrow and pray for at least 30 peaceful minutes. Good luck this week ya'll!

I myself am no fan of Mondays as well. I have the weekend off, then work 25 hours to start the week.. Ugh, does it drag!

I woke up this morning to 27" of snow. So much for the 8-12 forcasted. We just got 18" Thursday.. I was out at 6am in my flannel pjs trying to find my Jeep. What a cruel joke this winter has been!

Hopefully this week moves along quickly, Daytona bound in 3 days!!

Between frozen pipes, a chimney fire, 500 feet of snow, and a propane leak over that last 2 weeks, I've never needed a vacation so bad.

Here's to my first time out of New England!! WOOT!!

(:Hope you all have a great week:)

Ewww K-Pod, you definitely deserve that vaca! I have never left the US, so I undertand your enthusiasm about traveling abroad. I hope you have a blast!

Everyone has been pretty quiet this week, hope all is well.

      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.
