I had a friend send me this "before" picture, and thought I would share with everyone. This is from sometime in the spring of 2007. I don't recognize myself in this picture, and am just kind of in shock with this comparison.

For all those considering this surgery, here's proof it works. For those struggling, please don't give up.

Before: I'm the short one on the left.

Thanks for the amazing photos Tiffykins. You give me so much hope. My VSG will be on 11 Jan 10. I'll get my act together soon with some before pics. I have always been the one behind the camera so I have to have some taken to put on here. Maybe some day I will like to have my photo taken.

Thank you all so very much ! ! !

Chancie - I honestly can only think of 2 other times in my life when I've been this happy. When my son was born, and the day I married my lovely husband.

Newmom - you are too sweet, I hit the scale this morning at 156lbs. I've always been good at hiding my fat, and disguising my flaws. Everyone thinks I'm super skinny, but it's the clothes. Your reply definitely made me smile.

      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.
