I seem to get tighter after day 2-3. I'm not sure what my scale is doing. I wish I had periods 1-3 days. I had a tubal in 2002 and don't take any birth control. Would the pill affect you in that way?

I had a tubal in 1996 and since had bad bleeding. Was put on monessu or something like that..... worked wonders!

Hmmmm....something to think about. I have that problem now. I'm hoping losing weight may help with it. We shall see though :-)

We should call ourselves the tubal sisters because I too had one after my last pregnancy. I have been the same being heavy so if something can help with that, I'm all for it!

I can no longer complain about my cravings though. They fixed themselves today...had about 1/2 cup of chili cheese fritos :omg_smile:) and then spent the rest of the day PBing and "tossing my cookies." I guess its liquids for me for a day or two! But it is nice to have the tightness back!!!

Congratulations!!!!

I too was happily surprised last weekend when I got on the scales and found myself finally in TWOterville. :) Its great motivation to 'go go go faster' as my poor knees will attest.

Thanks Don!

It feels so good knowing that I reached this milestone. For me it was a big goal. I know I still have a ways to go, but it sounds so good to say it! LOL

Thanks Leslie!

What's with all the lurking? I look forward to reading your posts! How is the running going? How is the eating? Okay, seriously, how is the weighing only once a week?

LOL I could never do that. I must do it once a day!

I have actually been busy at work and haven't had time to type as much as I usually do. Darned job - LOL. I've been busy with the kids at night too with school starting - Darned family - LOL (love, love, love my girls - well, DH too).

It's nice though to actually feel good and do stuff...I'm not in bed, I'm not depressed. Just out living and being active. I've been trying to read and post when I can - when you miss a couple of days it takes a bit to get caught up.

I still weigh at home on my scales in the morning (of course naked and stomach empty - lovely sight it is). I record my weigh-in at the doctor's office once a week though. Their scales are the expensive ones that tell you body mass, fat% and all that jive.

OH!!! I think that's nice they weigh you once a week! WOW! I wish I had that option! I like my doctors scale better than mine too. Theirs only tells you BMI, but it always weighs me less than my home scale.

Yes, I know what you mean about living! I'm usually the lurker and don't post that much. It takes me forever to get caught up on all the threads. By the time I read it and have something to say, they've already moved on! LOL

I'm only posting today because I'm off and I lost 50 pounds! Oops, I already told everybody that didn't I? LOL (Can you tell I'm happy about it? LOL)

Aw shucks...thanks you guys!

I can't believe how much power the numbers have over me (and so many of us). I am consumed by the numbers right now. The number I am, the number I was, the number I've lost, the number of pounds I stil want to lose, the next mini goal number, the size of my shirts and jeans, the number inside my shoe...will that change too? Good grief. And I hate math!

But with all that said...I'm still happy and it really is a milestone for me and I must keep on keeping on as they say! I have a very long way to go yet, so I'm sure I'll be back in no time complaining and griping about not losing enough! LOL

      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.
