How about the weekend before our surgery we post a front, back and side view picture of our selves? :o

I think this is a great idea. I've havent taken a full body shot in so long I cant even remember the last time. I hate seeing myself in pictures all large and in charge. LOL. I will try and get mine done and up here this week. I will probably cry a little bit but i'll get it done.

I posted my pictures last night. I did a side, front and back version. I also took measurements that I don't plan on sharing! sorry! I plan on trying to take picture at the same time every month.

It's crazy because I know I'm a large woman but I'm scared. I'm scared for everyone to see me., like they can't already tell I'm large. So silly!

I ordered Unjury also - the unflavored one! I really like Premier Protein taste really good and it has 30g of Protein and low in sugar too. You can get them from costco or sams club

Hi all....this is my first time posting. I got my surgery date on Friday (it is May 14) and I have been excited and scared all weekend. I did not have to diet prior so now it is hitting me in the face......wow, this is real! I have bought all the items needed for my 2 week liquids. I think it is just a mental game for me to get into the groove, but it will definitely be hard!

Well welcome, there are a few of us all on the 14th of May...two weeks to go. i don't have to do a liquid diet, but most other people do, so good luck!

I asked my doctor about it. They will wrap pad you up in the er and then once you wake up you can manage it. But I know I was praying mine came early. They say it happens all the time.

      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.
