I realized today I weigh less than what my drivers license says I do, which was a "wishful thinking" number too start with! Thank goodness they dont call you on it! I always figure DMV & police must look at the weights people have down for themselves & laugh. I think when I hit goal Im going to insist on a new license with my real weight & a new pic & then find reasons to get pulled over just so I can show it off ~lol.

My driver's license says 158 and the picture was taken 3 days before my surgery weighing in at 235!! You wouldn't even recognize me in the pic, I tell you bad angles at the DMV!!! My friends or I should say my 11 year old girl's friends like to look at it for a good laugh!! Told myself I would get a new one when I reached my goal and could be honest about the weight. Time to get myself in there for a new picture!

It did make for a good post on Facebook when I wrote I finally weighed what my driver's license said!

This one may be nasty, but I used the potty on a high stool and was able to reach around without throwing out my back. :)

      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.
