Maybe we should all get together one day and walk or something, I love to go to the Big Dam Bridge and walk. I am struggling to get the last little bit off and could use the support and encouragement of others who are going through the same thing.

Ona positive note I am officially down 105 pounds! Went from a size 26 to a size 10. Yippee!

I am hoping to lose about 40 more, but i will be happy to get to 150 which is on 15 more pounds. You will get there, just work hard and smart at it!

They say that most people lose up to 60% of their excess weight but I am already at 74% so it is possible!

We meet out there after work (around 5:30) and we have been walking 5-7 miles.

we texted each other everyday to see if someone will be out there. I am always willing to be out there if someone wants to go with me. (my husband doesn't like for me to go by myself)

I have started a 12 week program to start running. All my sisters run and I always fill left out.

Today is my one month Banniversary! ! ! WOO HOO! ! !

Congrats Tracy on being in a size 8 !

I bought me a "Goal Dress" in a size XL. I wanted to be able to wear it for my birthday at the end of june. well when I got home and tried it on it fit! I am going to buy a size Lg to be my "Goal Dress" for my beach vacation in September.

      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.
