Thanks. A shopping trip though will wait until I am at my goal weight...but it seems possible now! When I started this LB journey I thought it wouldn't/ couldnt happen for me, but I am a believer!

Thanks Ezma, Thanks RSG!

I bought myself a new bra this weekend - not anticipating this achievement but just because it was DESPERATELY needed! I couldn't believe how much my shape has changed when I was fitted (and I am a firm believer in getting fitted properly by someone else)....the difference in clothes is amazing!

Thanks ladies! You are the only ones (outside of DH) who know this...and I just was bursting with excitement. My feet were indeed tiptapping all day!

It's a great feeling - the hard work pays off, and although Im not too goal weight, this is just reinforcing that it is possible!

For my fellow VVs who are not there yet, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

      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.
