Oh my goodness, you look great!!!! So when I see pictures like yours, it puts my focus back on why I'm doing this. I've been having nightmares about my surgery coming up in 3 weeks. I want soooo bad to run from it and say I'll be happy being fat for the rest of my life! Whatever to self...no way to self...I want to feel as good as you look. I'm so happy for you!!! :D

You look awsome!!! Congrats!!!

@penpen. Don't think. It's the best advice I got. It's like jumping off the high diving board. Don't look down and just jump. You'll be glad you did!!!

I'm now 5 months out and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 82 lbs so far and though things have slowed way down, I am still losing and most importantly - NOT GAINING! It hasn't been an easy road, but I'm feeling better and better!

Penpen, I agree with Fern. There were some things that were hard to deal with, but there wasn't anything I couldn't handle....and it passes. It gets easier and easier each day. I wanted to run too....I'm so glad I didn't!

      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.
