I had a NSV today -- put on a favorite birthstone ring I've had for a long time and it kept slipping round and round my ring finger so I finally put it on my middle finger -- so my fingers are getting skinnier!

What a great thread!

I am so thankful to have had surgery. I'm 5 1/2 weeks out and have been losing really well, 13lbs since surgery. BUT in the last 2 days gained back 2lbs and I'm actually OKAY with it! Not thrilled by any means, but I get a fill on Tuesday and I know I'll get it back off again. I've been hungry the last couple of days and have been eating more than usual but NOTHING like before surgery! To me, that seems like a miracle! And even though I'm hungry, it's not like before surgery either!

I'm also thankful for my DH and DD. I love them to pieces!!

Saundra, my husband went to WV. He's Icelandic and came to the US to go to school and picked WV because he had friends who were attending there. He still has very fond memories of Morgantown.

Everyones welcome at WVU, I went there myself for a little while before my 3rd was born and I had to stop. My oldest loves it there so much he bought a restaurant this year that he worked at last year. LOL and it looks like we have another son wanting to go there as well, so all I can say is Letsss Goooo Mountaineers!!

P.S. Your hubby obviously has good taste in schools and women :w00t:

I am positively happy because I ran 8.2 miles today, divided in 3 runs. I positively could not have done that a year ago, or a month ago for that matter. WOW! This band is an amazing tool, but more than that, we are amazing women for choosing to use it!!!

Today, I had a huge chocolate craving but I was able to pass up fudge. For that, I am very thankful. I am also thankful for the health and well-being of all my children. :tongue:

What a wonderful thread. I am thankful for my new life. I have a goal of 8000 steps a day and this week I topped it. Two days I walked over 10,000 steps. That is wonderful as in June when I started this journey, I was winded when I walked to the car. Life is wonderful today.

      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.
