I messed around with my iphonography app. But my pics i don't have two chins anymore! Haha! Great feeling.

Almost 40 lbs gone since pre op diet started on 1/11 and surgery 1/25!

Where'd you start to first see the weight drop? I think mines in my face first then works its way down.

I always lose in my butt and legs first. I look like a marshmallow held up with 2 toothpicks. My face is always last. My dad had a fat face and was never overweight. After losing over 100 lbs, I still had a sack of fat under my chin/neck area. I wouldn't really call it a double chin, I call it a blob of fat. When I went to the cosmetic surgeon a couple months ago to get an estimate on a TT and Lipo on my chin, she said I'd had it for so long that it might end up looking like a turkey neck (the fat stretched it out so long that sucking it out might cause saggy skin).

My mom says it won't be "me" without it. I'll probly live with it forever. You are all lucky who lose it in the face first!

      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.
