Wow, Indiogirl, I see you've lost to goal plus nine! How do you feel about that additional nine lbs and are you trying to stabilize? Congrats on getting it all off! We'll have to get together when I get back there in late September.

Thanks Shir - I feel fantastic !!! I really want the 150 which would make my total loss 100 lbs - My original goal was 170 - didn't think I would make it then got to 180 and pushed goal to 160 again never really beleived I would get there (I have never gotten to goal on any diet/program that I have ever been on)

I am going to Vegas next weekend need a casual elagent dress - got a beatiful one - size 10 form fitting - my pants are 6's or 8's - I am feeling great - I have had a couple pple say they didn't recongize me :redface:

Yep when you get here in Sept we can get together - Phyl should be getting here in Oct or early November...

Indiegirl, Wow, those are some GREAT numbers! I'm extremely jealous and encouraged to hang in there. The whole thing about having so many pounds to drop in the first place is what held me back before I got the band and now the idea that it's all possible is mind boggling! I've tried every which way to get that goal counter on my profile. Do I cut and paste it into my signature? I just had this idea in the middle of the night and am going to give it a try. I guess ideas come to me slowly... duh!

Got my knee fixed (torn meniscus) and am having an easy time of it recovering. Just had it done Friday morning and already went to the movie last night with hubby, so that's quick. The leg's a bit stiff but I'm doing the exercises and it will loosen up soon. Bandage comes off Monday morniing and replaced with bandaids - looking forward to that.

Thanks for your encouraging email! You are a SUPER success story! Congratulations!!

      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.
