I jumped over my halfway mark this morning. I'm so excited. I hope the second half of this weight-loss journey is as thrilling as this first half. I love my band!

Congrats! That has to feel great. :biggrin2:

Probably another couple months before I can say that but I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks. :)

I also just realized that for the first time ever, I weigh what my drivers' license says I do. This morning I weighed 230 and that's what the DL says. So cool. Not for long, though, pretty soon it will say more than I weigh. That will be a first as well.

Congratz Melissa! It's so good to see the progress the double V's are doing. I hope the second half goes as smoothly (and as quickly) as the first! :smile2:

Thank you, Everyone!

In 15 minutes it will be my 36th birthday. I'm so blessed to finally not dread the fact that I've gotten older. This has been such an important year for me as far as taking charge of my future. I have such hope that things will continue getting better and better. This morning I hit 75 pounds lost. I feel so blessed!

      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.
