Hello,

I thought that I'd finally write and introduce myself. My name is BrieAnna and im 26 and as you know live in SD. I've been married for almost 6 yrs now and back in march just had beauitful TWIN girls.

Life has been a whirlwind these last 5 years in trying to get pregnant and just all the stress of it.I guess thats mainly where all my weight came from. I was never really a BIG person until all the issues started to come out with my pcos(polycystic ovarian syndrome). When I first meet my husband I was about 150-160 and felt good and confident at that weight. However got into the flow of not excersing enough and then the five yrs on fertility medicine and stress my weight hiked up to 220 before I knew it. I then got pregnant and gained 35lbs with the twins and suprisenly lost all of it while bf'ing within 2months and then gained 10 back which isnt too bad I guess. I had hoped that things would cure itself persay with the pcos after the babies and it seems as though it hasnt.:eek:

So this is my journey now to become healthy enough to cure my health issues and be to self-confident,sexy in my own way,in shape and happy with my body overall. I'm ready to make this LIFE STYLE change! I know its not going to be easy but I know in the end I'll achieve what I've been waiting for, for so long now. :eek:

****I have a huge checklist I have to do for the Navy in order to get my surg. date and thankfully I only have three things left to do!

Two more psch appts(one today) and my first appt with the nutrionist is next thurs. So thats where I'm at with all this pre-op stuff~

Welcome Brie, I am freezing in Cleveland Ohio, wishing for some sunshine. Congratulations on your beautiful girls. Treasure every moment because it goes by way to fast. I have 3 girls a 10 year old and 8 year old twins. The past 8 years has been a whirlwind for me.

I have been so busy I never stopped and took the time to think about myself and what I was doing to myself. I then started to see my bad habits rubbing off on my girls and that scared me into seeing myself and what I was doing to these girls.

That puts me at today, I am now looking at myself and taking better care of myself, which only makes me a better mother, by showing them a better way to care for themselves.

Enjoy this journey.

I will be heading your way soon for another fill in MX. So I look forward to that warm sun of yours. I think we are quickly moving into winter here.

      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.
