Well, today I had to renew my work ID and take a photo of myself. I have been putting this off for months now because I am totally hating my hair! LOL But I got the hate mail again and this time they copied my boss, so it had to be done! I took a self portrait with my cell phone and up loaded it, but compared it to the old one and WOW!!! what a difference, the old one is almost 5 years old. I could not take a shot of the old one, the security words blocked out the picture. But I was able to find this shot of me from the Devils game that I went to in April of 2010 on my work computer, pretty big difference here too! Even though I have had the band in that time and only lost 50 and gained the same 50 pounds in that time! The huge jersey does nothing for the figure either! LOL

Holy Moly, you can def. see a difference. You look fantastic and I like the hair cut it really shows your face off. Just think next time they ask to renew your work ID you will probably want to be the first in line to add your new pics of how great you'll be looking. Congrats!!

You look great, what a difference!

Funny how we thought that hiding behind a huge tent of clothing was flattering...I used to hate it if anything 'clingy' and would opt for bigger and looser...just trying to hide the flab. Ugh!

AAWW, thank you all! the only reason I am hating the hair is because it takes too long to do it in the morning! the longer hair was more of wash and go! now i have to blow it and style it! Ah the price of looking sweet! And the Jersey, I only was wearing it because I was at the game! I never wore baggy clothes, hated looking like i was wearing tents!

You guys are the best!!!

FABULOUS ! ! ! I got a lecture by the Florida hwy patrol a couple of weeks ago because I haven't updated my driver's license picture and information. My DL still says 255lbs, and has my old picture. I'm not changing it until we close on the house, and get a new address.

      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.
