This site has changed a ton since I was last on here! It looks good! My surgery date was October 11, 2010, and I've lost 127 pounds. Ideally, I'd like to lose about 90 more. I'm so grateful for everyone that helped me along this journey, this has 100%-absolutely been the best thing that I've ever done for myself. I'm getting married in 4 months, and I'm 1 size away from my "wedding date goal", so that makes me pretty happy. One thing that I do have to admit, is that I'm a little disappointed when I look in the mirror. I don't see a girl whose lost 127 pounds, I just see a bunch of skin. 3 months after I had the surgery, my insurance premium went from 400 a month-to 1200 a month, so I no longer have health insurance, and haven't seen the doc in about a year. In June, I will have health insurance again through my fiance. I guess it's just a bit disappointing, feeling so big still, but eventually I'm hoping the 90 more pounds will come off (I'm working on it) and I can have the cosmetic surgery to take the skin off. One question that I have for you guys, is what is a good full-liquid diet to go on for a week? I think I need a little kick in the butt, to get back to my old-new self, who worked out, wrote in her food diary, and cared about what she ate. With the wedding coming up, I'll have to admit that I just eat whatever, whenenver. I've been so busy lately, that I don't even hesitate stopping for a cheesburger, which now that I sit here and think about it, should be absolutely disgusting to me, I never want to get back to where I was again. So...any suggestions about the full-liquid diet? I'm starting working out again tonight, and am back to 64oz of water, as of Saturday. I'll also be showing up a lot more here, I think I need this friendly support from people who have been through what I have. Good luck to you all, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I am only 11 weeks out and having a really hard time right now so I am going back to my roots. 4oz of protein drinks, broth with protein taking 20 minutes to drink them 3x a day. Also drinking tons of water all day to keep the hunger bug away. I am hoping this kick starts the losing all over again.
