I started at 264 and now 219. Surgery was 4-22-13. I am having trouble feeling it and seeing it. I mean my clothes are loose and I see it a little. I cant wait until my brain catches up. i wonder how others see me? Can you tell a difference? Just a little or alot? I am serious, I am not being an attention *****. I dont need you to say "you look great"...Just whether it is noticable I lost weight.

I was having trouble with the pictures, I added a side by side, but they are different sizes. My son was making me hold the sword.

Everbody is Right our minds just need to catch up with our bodies I still haven't bought any clothes cause I still am scared to however people do notice more than me but when I take pics I am like really is it just the different mirrors or is this what I really look like I hope that is what I look like cause then I just go with it cause I know what I couldn't do before and what I can do and how my clothes fit now cause they have to be taken in or how they start to fall off lol so look at yourself you will know what other people r seeing even if we're not.

You look so much smoother in my opinion.. Its hard to tell because you see yourself every day. Do something that makes you feel gorgeous.. I do nails.. Don't wear such lose clothing.. Tailoring enhances all the good work you've done.. You look fab..;)

      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.
