Recommended Posts

Hi there everyone. So...I'm off to Las Vegas tomorrow (Woo Hoo) and headed to Macy's to see if there were any good sales. Well...I came across a cute little black dress...you know every woman needs a little black dress. Well...the only size that was left was a size 12. I knew it wouldn't fit, but went into the fitting room to see how tight it was. Stepped into it...zipped it up and wouldn't you know it...I was off to the register to buy my new SIZE 12 dress. Oh my goodness...I cannot remember the last time that I could actually fit into a size 12. Maybe that's the start of my good luck and I'll win big in Vegas. Wish me luck!!!!

You just lived a 'dream come true' for me!! It's been almost 20 years since I was in a size 12 -- and that was only after dieting and only lasted for a few brief months.

Before that I leap-frogged right over Size 12, (from about a size 5 or 6!!), twenty-eight years AGO when I never went below a 14 after having my first baby!

Hey everyone...I'm back. I won a little...lost a lot in Vegas. I had a blast though. I must have changed clothes three times a day because I was just loving the way that I looked. My mother went with me and she was cracking up because I was constantly asking..."Mom...take my picture over here..." I will post one or two once I resize them. I'm going in this morning for a fill and I'm not happy to report that I gained a few pounds while in Vegas. Of course, drinking all of those wonderful alcoholic beverages didn't help. Oh well...back on track today.

OK...here we go. The first picture was taken outside of the Wynn casino in 2006. The second picture was taken at the same place a couple of days ago. Can you see a difference?

      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.
