Thanks guys :D There are times when I thought I never would get there, been hard work, but all worth it, I still look in the mirror and see myself as I was before, only in photos do I see what I look like now, thats abit strange I guess seeing yourself for so long as I was has warped my vision somewhat. Thats why I did the one leg pic, also that and my nephews thought it would be hilarious cos its like "the biggest loser" :)

@coops Im not sure what is the best thing, as there are so many, I actually can enjoy food now without over doing it, I dont feel like I am a slave to it, i eat to live not live to eat, I like going into stores and buying the same size as most other people, not being as shy when meeting new people, sitting where I want without fear that I wont fit or the chair may not be sturdy enough, also just having more energy to do things are the best things about getting to my goal.

I love this board, great to see everyone from pre sleeve to goal weights and beyond, just reading what people say, their obstacles makes you feel not alone, nor are you going crazy, im def stick around :D If I can do it, anyone can and I cant wait to be there at the finish line for all of you! xoxo

      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.
