_________________________

As of today I have lost just over 100 pounds (the equivalent in weight to all of the above, according to a previous thread on this board). Thank you to all of you for your friendship, your support and your presence on this amazing journey that we are all on together.

I've got another 35 pounds to go before reaching my goal. I've started walking and have registered to work out in our local fitness center- did it the right way, took a stress test and got my GP's OK. My next immediate weight goal would be losing another 6 pounds, which would put my BMI below the obese level. Not being obese... wow, less than a year ago I couldn't even dream of it.

My tastes and habits continue to change. The sight of french toast at Breakfast grossed me out today, and I had no problem sitting at the table with guests last night and watching everyone else chow down on home-made pizza. And at night, I'm willing to pop the occasional sleeping pill (also, on my doc's okay) rather than stay up late and fight the Battle of the Binge.

Wishing you all a good week out there and thanking you all again,

Love,

Edited by bandpal

Hmmm.... 100lb - a guineapig (2lb?), a brain (4lb?), a 2y.o. (25lb?), a cat (10lb?).... Damn, just how big is that elephant's penis?????? ;)

Thanks Wendy, I really appreciate your friendliness and encouragement. I'm close to that "overweight, not obese" goal myself, that's going to be a sweet one. Let us know when you get there!

All the best,

      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.
