The change in your body is amazing...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know it took a lot of determination and hard work. I have to say tho, what really impressed me as I looked at your pictures is that as you appear to have lost the weight you seem to have gained the confidence....from refusing to look at the camera to posing!!! I think that is awesome!!! You have every reason to be proud. I can't wait to join you! I get my band on the 24th!

Now get out there and strut your stuff!!

Thanks everyone....Traceylou...I can only speak for myself, I really dont think I will ever get past the "fat" mentality. I still have a fair bit to lose to not be considered overweight. I am still obese according to BMI.

Its a hard question to answer but I really dont think I will think of myself as anything other than fat, or someone that needs to lose weight. I have lived with it all my life so if it is going to change I think it will take a long time.

Hugs and good luck with your surgery.

      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.
