I know it has been said before but you are such a blessing to all of us newbies and wantabes! I have hung on all of your responses and posts and used them to help me get to where I am! I think a lot of sleevers use this site only while they are losing and then forget about it (which I guess that means they are living their new life which is good). You keep coming back to help all of us behind you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

P.S. the pictures are amazing!!!!

I couldn't agree more!!!! You are beautiful inside and out! You DO indeed have such a sweet-looking family, too!

Obviously, the first ones are pre-op, but I had had my band placed for almost 2 months when these were done so this isn't even technically at my heaviest. I think I was around 250-255lbs in these.

The second set were taken today ! ! !

Here's proof the sleeve works. No matter where you are in the process, DO NOT GIVE UP. . . This is the best thing in the entire world. Take care of yourself, your body, your mind, and your spirit ! ! !

Holy crud, hot mama! Those almost look like they're a different person -- in a good way!

It always amazes me how losing significant weight can also make a person look younger; it shows up in your pictures too.

Great job!

Thank you Tiff for always sharing with us! Without you I am not sure where I would be right now.. Your emails helped me to make the choice to go a head with the wls. Even though you have the VSG and I have the Super Sleeve I always enjoy reading your posts. You are such an amazing women and I am so happy for you!

Ya.. I just managed to choke down my Satan's Spit (magensium citrate). You should've seen how long it took me and the side eye I was giving it. I finally had to go stand at the sink and make myself down it all alternating w/ shots of Water. I was SORELY tempted to say to hell with it and eat the slice of pizza in the ffridge!!! :rolleyes: What's hilarious is I kept mentally playing these pics in my head and thinking of the fishing poles we looked at on Sunday.. and the tank tops this summer... LOL

Oh man I remember doing that.. I was about to lose my mind lol.. BUT I promise you will not ever want to go back once your wls is done! It is wonderful to lose the weight dont get me wrong BUT the freedom you will have from food is so amazing! The control that right now feels almost normal will be gone! It is so amazing to eat to live instead of living to eat. It is about 1:30 here and I haven't eaten yet today. I dont really feel hungry but I know I should eat. Before I would have been fighting myself to just wait til lunch to eat and now Im that person that says, "Oh I forgot to eat" WHO DOES THAT!! Im so happy for you to join us on the other side!

Awe girl I'm so sorry! I know I thought what the hell did I just do to my self those first few days but honestly I think of the pain the same mothers talk about child birth. I only remember what I wrote down not real memories themselves. So I promise this too will pass! It is worth it! You are now in control of your own future!!

      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.
