Don't feel bad? Usually when you're "big" it doesn't show till after 40 lbs. I've lost 24 and you can't see it yet!

People are ignorant. I lost 20# and one of the girls I see when I leave work asked me if I was pregnant...ugh!!! But I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I was banned 2 days ago and I know the next time I see her she'll be saying something else. Good luck in your journey. It's not an easy one but well worth it.

I am 5'3" and have lost 67 lbs so far since July. Sadly, some have noticed and many not. I am down from size 22/24 pants to 16/18. :( I know I feel better in how I look and feel and my blood pressure has come down too. I just hope that after I get under 200 more people will notice. I don't expect everyone to say something as they wouldn't feel comfortable or feel it isn't appropriate to say; however, even some close family haven't... Oh well, I know I feel much better and look much better... Heck, I am down a couple chins too!!!

      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.
