Nope, not 40 years old . . . -40 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had been at -39.5 for a WEEK and it was driving me crazy. Today, I finally went to -40. And I am over the moon!

Height: 5'7", High: 263, Surgery: 247, Current: 223, Goal: 150

Right now, I just finished a 5 mile walk and I'm sitting here in a pair of size 16 capris and a size 14 shirt and I am just stoked. :):thumbup::glare::thumbup:

I weighed 242 when I had my surgery and weighed 197 today.

Size L blouse and size 16 pants. 1/2 a shoe size less. Isn't this great?

Congratulations! I hit it last week too and the last few pounds had just taken forever to fall away (as if it was as easy as "falling away", lol).... it sure feels good, doesn't it?

My next big goal is Onederland which I'm hoping to make by my birthday in mid-September.

      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.
