I don't have any "before" pics at 296. I burned them all - I am not that person and it never made me feel good to keep them. I like to focus on the positive. :)

Here I am in 2007, around 192. Lowest weight. I was in 14's. The thinnest my face has been :) SO want to get back there.

Here I am in 2010, after my skin removal surgery. This was not the lowest, but was the smallest I'd been (size 12 pants, L/XL shirts in "NORMAL" sizes). I was about 205. NOTHING feels like a flat belly! It was absolutely worth it.

(please ignore goofy smile, I was being "sarcastic" lol)

Here i am 2 months pregnant (and yes, getting married, LOL). My band was still working. I thought I would only gain 10-15 lbs max.

Okay ladies, this takes a lot of courage. I never expose my arms or shoulders, so this is a big deal to post my before photos. But perhaps if I post the before photos, it will give me motivation to lose weight to show you the after photos. The person I see in these pictures is not me. I see these pictures and think "how did I ever get this big?" But I did. And now is the time I will do something about it. No matter what! post-216470-13813134719205_thumb.jpg post-212678-13813134719296_thumb.jpg

By the way, I was wearing a swim suit in these photos. My hair was not done, as you can tell. I really do look better when I'm not about to go get in my hot tub.

And one more, this is my wonderful husband (Dee) and I. We've been married for 27 years, and through all the ups and downs, good and bad, we still love each other!

      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.
