Hi Mini Me

Just wanted to jump in and say I could have written this post!! I think I was in the same boat as you are. I lost weight, dropped sizes in my clothes but I felt like I still looked the same! I really did not see a difference until I hit the 50lb mark!! I have actually read about other people posting the same thing. All at once I felt much lighter, I dropped more sizes in my clothes and I could truly see a difference!! So give it just a little longer it will happen, and then you will say YES this is why I did this!

Good luck!!

Hi Mini, I have been where you are now. It's hard to deal with how bad it was I think. I cringe when I see the old photos. Please hang on in there, it will all be OK in the next year. Loads o love Jane

Hey There Mini!

I can soo relate with what you are saying. Everytime I looked at myself in the mirror I would think to myself "the scale says I've lost weight, Why can't I see it?" Then last weekend I went dress shopping and found this really awesome black dress and I was AMAZED when I looked inthe mirror. I could finally see it. I used to wear a 24... this dress was a 16!!!! So I think it is like John said, what you wear might make a difference. You are doing great 30 lbs in 2 months is fantastic. Keep up the great work!

      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.
