GRATS EVERYONE!!

Last weekend I flew to SF to see my baby (ahem, he's 28! LOL) brother and his wife. I was there for her baby shower.

I came out of the BART station headed towards him and he looked right past me. I had to say, "Yo, Giacomo...." He just gaped!!

That was great!

Tonight is Phoenix and friends I haven't seen in almost 2 months! :lol:

KIKIVAL you are looking great! haven't been on in a while and now I see your new picture where you are showing your face not hiding behind a hat!!!! OMG 40+ pounds I am so jealous. Keep up the great work.

Have any of you started losing hair the last week I have lost so much hair. My once thick hair is gone. I pray I don't lose too much more. Went on a thread last night in the hopes of getting some answers. Seems I need to start taking Zinc or Biotin or both.

36_1_1.gif 36_1_11.gif I have to NSV today! First I noticed that my pants I had on today is ready to be turned out to pasture! YEAH!! I grabbed 2 inches on each side of them. The second is the sterring wheel in the car no longer rubs my belly. So maybe the car will finally realize that I am not a genie. LOL

EXCELLENT! Good for you!

When I weighed in today, I had lost 1.5 more lbs. But the EXCITING part was it two weeks time I had lost .25" in my arms and thighs, an INCH in my waist and HIPS. Gotta be all those DVDs! Gotta love Richard Simmons!

I had two NSVs this past week! First, I went for my fill and my doc said NO. He said "you are doing great. You lost 11 pounds in the last month. You don't even NEED a fill". At first I was bummed because I felt like I went there for nothing, but then I realized that wasnt a bad thing :biggrin:

Second, my best friend slept over yesterday. I woke up and was getting dressed for work and he said "You're shrinking!" He looked under the bed and then back at me and said "where did you go?" LOL that made my day

I finally went shopping and the same size fit.:biggrin: Went home, took off tags and wore that outfit to work on Monday. It was too big! how did that happen? maybe I am smaller in the morning! now I'm stuck with an outfit that I won't wear much. I wish there was a clothese exchange for lap banders close to me.

36_9_1.gifI had another NSV moment today. I was wearing a blouse that I hadn't worn in about 3 weeks. I didn't look at it before going out. When I went to my daughter's home she asked when I was going to get rid of that blouse because it was looking bad because it is so big! Yeah!

Good job everyone else.

I am trying not to buy too many casual clothes, but I have to look decent for work. My pants are getting so big that I cant stand it anymore. So I went to Kohls looking for affordable work wear and guess what!?! I am in a 18 now! Teens!

      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.
