You look fantastic!! Pictures definately do help. If you want to see something that shocks you, pull out your driver's license and look at that photo. I hadn't even thought about it, but I was showing my ID to a checker at a store one day and she did a double-take and was staring at me. I almost got all pissy and did the angry "WHAT?" but then she handed me back my driver's license and when I looked at it I was floored.

My driving license is okay, because here you can get your own photos done, so I made sure it wasn't a pile o' doodoo. BUT OH MY GOD, my work ID is HIDEOUS. SOOOOO awful. I need to go in and get them to redo my photo. :blink:

Passport is a whole nother story. Train. wreck. Giant pink bowling ball for a face/head. Awful.

I feel your pain. No kidding, I can't stand to use the GD thing. But I have to use it all. the. time. And it doesn't expire for two more years. I must investigate what happens if I "lose" it and have to replace it... I would scan it in (along with my WRETCHED work ID) just to prove that I WIN when it comes to V. BAD PHOTOS, but I don't even want a digital record that it exists anywhere on the www. :lol:

:angry:

:(

:huh:

Pictures are great, but I forgot. What really has me encouraged is my old clothes. I'm putting on stuff from a few years ago. Some of it may be out of style but damm I look good! It may only be me but my closet sports clothes for size 30 to 46 (pants). I can cloth a ever growing baseball team. I'm going to get rid of the high and low numbers and find a nice mid point. Hey, you think bell bottoms will make a comeback? I've got some gaberdin slacks that may be a fire hazard.

      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.
