:faint: It has been a year? :faint:

The day of my first consult I was 135ish kg(297lbs). Today I weighed in at 77kg (169lbs). Not bad for a year huh? I had my 1 year follow up today, and Dr said that some time in Sept we would start thinking about a Tummy Tuck, if I get this last 9-10kg off. I think I can do it :welldone2:

I went from a tight 26/28 to a loose 14, snug 12.

Yay me! :clap2: 10kg to go!

Thanks everyone! This year has just buzzed by! I have no idea where it went to be honest.

I was almost a week post op when the "before" pics were taken... And I lost like 25-30lbs on Optifast (I was on it for 3 weeks pre op. 3 weeks of hell) Then I lost another 10 lbs or so before these pics were taken. I really regret no keeping better records. *sigh*

Thanks Kathy, Fee.

My Dr said if it was not for my tattoo on my lower back, he would have thought it was someone else! LOL I have to agree with him, I do look very different.

Thanks guys!

And I have brought myself an anniversary gift! A realy nice gold bangle. It is just devine, cost far too much, and is perfect! I had it engraved "To me, for being me, Love me"

The engraver looked at me like I was a weirdo! Maybe I am lol!

      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.
