Good for you!!! You look amazing and it sounds like your outlook has been the thing that has transformed the most. I know the feeling of dreading things like summer, its such a gift to you, your kids, and your spouse that you are able to be the real you instead of the girl trapped inside. I can't wait!!!!

Congrats!

You are correct. And that is what I wanted to change the most, my outlook on life, I think that was what suffered the most, and when that does everything starts to crumble. I'm not going to lie, yes I want to lose weight and look good, but what does that matter if you are in a fog? You will do well, anyone that has the right frame of mind will.

You look like a million bucks and for only $10,500 ---- what a bargain. lol Congratulations!

Ha! Thank you!!!! I should probably re-do my signature, I payed a total of $11,500. My loan was $10,500, and I saved up $1000.00 on my own. But, either way if I look like a million bucks, I'm out wayyyy ahead! Thanks!

      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.
