During plateau's I've been counting on some other changes in my body to keep me modivated. Well I'm at one of those plateaus right now. So...

I have enjoyed seeing my wrist bones... LOL, and getting up and down much much easier... also I played basketball with my kids and I love playing sports so that is a small start.

I love being surprised at how great I look whenever I glimpse myself in the mirror. I love that I take the time to put on makeup now. I love that I get to develop my own style based on what I like as opposed to what is available that fits me.

I enjoy the energy I have now. Oh, and my hair is longer...not from growing but because the fat on top of my shoulders has decreased!

Grab your tape measure....whenever my scale would quit moving, the inches dropped off. I have no idea how or why--but they did, and I took it!!! LOL!!!

There are so many from collar bones to being more bendy (flexible) because my big giant belly was in the way, and now it is not.

My neck is thinner. I had a fat neck. Who knew?

Keep track of these things. They make you happy when the scale stops moving. ;0)

      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.
