You look mahvelous! I'm about the same height as you (though considerably older :cry_smile: ) and have the same amount to lose.

I hope my results are similar to yours - in fact, I'm gonna work my tail off (literally) to make sure that they will be! I'm not banded yet, but hopefully soon...

Thanks for posting your inspirational story!:thumbup:

Wow , you look fantastic !!! Size 12 is a great size but you look like an 8 !!

I'm happy you got the surgery so young so you can enjoy life :thumbup:

Puking , yeah, bet that's disturbing. I'm jumping back into this after chickening out 2 years ago. I puke now from over-eating at night while consuming too much soda or chocolate milk , not only or just vomiting but choking on it , being woken up from choking on it. I know I;m treading dangerous ground there. I believe it's called Aspirating.

Keep up the amazing work and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

:D

Wow... It's so nice to read and see your success story and know it really is something we can all strive for. Thanks for sharing your journal - warts and all! I'll be banded on November 18th and my number one reason for making this decision (after so many years) is because I can feel my body breaking down and the aches and pains are so much more prevalant. But... I also want one more chance at being beautiful and SEXY!!!

      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.
