And I don't have far to come! It takes a long time to see yourself differently. Even now at times I see myself still at 256! Look for NSVs. Like getting into and out of the car, a booth in a restaurant. squeezing through spaces I did not think I would fit!

You are doing great girl!

Indee, like being able to wrap yourself in a normal size bath towel, or crossing your legs under your desk!!!

I agree wholeheartedly!! Like sitting on an airplane and not have to worry about being uncomfortable or making the person next to you feel that way. I miss riding roller coasters too!!! One day soon I pray!!

I've always been able to pick out something I liked about myself, but when I'm around others it's hard. I end up judging myself harder than anyone. I'm working on it though.

My nicknames at work are big girl and fluffy. One of my co workers,who use to tease me, got offended when I called myself big girl. I really got attached to that name. I have to catch myself now when I call myself these names, because I don't have that body anymore. I feels good to hear them say: girl, your are losing that weight.

      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.
