I couldnt have lost even that on my own) but some days even being the same weight i feel alot skinnier then i really am... im tired of these mind games. I look at myself naked and i feel right back to 287lbs instead of 267.

I have those days too. Some days, I get dressed and feel like I could light up the world. Other days, I change my clothes seven times before I leave and still don't feel decent! I know it's a mental thing, and people can't tell if I gained back two pounds, but it's still frustrating!

This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. I have to keep reminding myself that :)

I feel exactly the same way, especially during PMS; I had lap band surgery this year on April 9th and my first fill on June 6th. I tell myself all of the time that I have "only lost 31 pounds" but I could NOT have done that without lap band surgery. My second fill is on July 25th and I am counting down until the days . . . . ~ GOOD LUCK ~

      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.
