Here's some pictures of me trying on the same pants I wore in the first picture. (With the orange shirt!) They are a size 24 & they are falling off me. This is the first time I have tried to wear these pants in 9 months & I can't believe how big they are!! It feels so good!!!

Here's some more pictures! I can't believe I'm posting pictures of me in my underwear, but oh well!!! Most of my weight was lost in my big ol' behind. I am emberassed that this is the view people saw the most of me!!! I had no idea my behind looked so HUGE!! ;) It was eye-opening to see this photo!! I didn't realize how much I had truly lost back there until I looked at these photos.

Okay, these pictures I'm posting out of the insistence of my husband. I've NEVER taken a picture in a swimming suit, much less post it to the world!!!

      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.
