It is such a relief to not be paranoid that someone will take a phhoto of you when u arent ready, i am still somewhat camera shy but am not obsessing about it now :)

I know that feeling, I still very much dodge behind objects. I still think some people need to learn to NOT take photos when food is being served, soooo not flattering, LOL

I haven't lost enough that I'm comfortable in front of a camera yet, but it is something I'm looking forward to. For years I've been telling people that come near me with a camera that I can't have pictures made because I'm in the witness protection program :ph34r: ! I also tell friends and family that if they post a picture of me on Facebook that I'll "unfriend" them!!

Total opposite here, I went to a bday party this weekend and I was looking at the pictures just now and thought geez! I can't wait until my surgery so that I don't have to look at pictures like this again! :unsure:

Me too just a thing! I totally can't wait, I was looking at photos from a family activity we did 2 weeks ago and I can't believe how fat I am! If I was insure of the band before, that just made me realize how much I truly need some serious help!

I am just starting my 6 month diet so I am pretty far out, but I will get there!

I just went to my last appointment today! It goes by really fast! It's also good because at the end of the 6 months you'll have done so much research that you will know if the band is right for you :)

I am really self conscious of what my friends post of me on FB, some I seem not to have any control of and just don't care. All my friends are overweight and seem to be comfortable in their own skin, I am not! They think I am just being overly sensative. A friend of mine posted pictures when we all went away on vacation (al of them) including the ones in the pool. Which btw I begged for her to take down and she still hasn't, 8 months later....

Ugh! Someone didn't believe my don't put my picture on Facebook threat and eleven pictures of me showed up all tagged on Facebook today. I quickly removed the tag and the "friend". Worst of all is, I'm down almost 40 pounds, I'm halfway to my goal weight and I still looked like a blob!! THAT WAS DEPRESSING!! I can't imagine what I must have looked like 40 pounds heavier!!! I'm thinking I may have to revisit my goal weight ;-(

When I look at a picture of myself I expect to be disgusted and now I'm always plesantly surprised. I wonder if I'll ever get used to that?

      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.
