Yesterday the scale read 299. The old me wanted to go Celebrate by eating something fatty and bad. How stupid. The new me went out to the driving range and hit a bucket of balls instead. Today I went on a long hike I would never been able to make 4 months ago. I only made it halfway to chimney rock but going to try again the end of the summer.

These are my first before and after photos. It took me awhile before I could see a difference in them. More important than the pictures though is how I feel. I feel better then I have in 10-15 years. I don't know which is helping more the weight loss or the fact I quit smoking 12 weeks ago.

OMG Are you kidding? You look FANTASTIC!!! There is a very noticeable difference in your appearance. Keep up the good work! I know it's hard to accept the new you! I've lost weight before but never noticed the difference either.

It's time we take notice of our new appearances and accept the new you!

You look great. You may not realize it but, your pictures are very motivating. They show that hard work does pay off.

That's what I keep saying. I know my friends and family are sick of hearing how much better I feel. But I can't help it. When I hit 199 they are probably all gonna change their numbers and un friend me lol

      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.
