So, it's been many months... even years since I've seen some of my family members. Their eyes bugged straight out of their heads and was even unrecognizable to some of them. It was a lot of fun.

My brother said I better stop losing weight now or else I'm going to start looking like this guy:

I know... not very nice but if you knew our relationship you would think it was pretty funny... I did!! I also have a very thin cousin who's always had the perfect body IMO. She just about died when she saw my arms. She shouted at the top of her lungs "OMG YOUR ARMS ARE SO DAM* SKINNY!!!!" LMAO!! That was pretty funny too. You know what's weird though is that I really don't see it. She's still skinnier than me but I'm gonna catch her... heehee. :) I love her lots though. We are built almost identical and when I'm her size I know what I'll look like. She also had an augmentation so I know EXACTLY what I'll look like. She's a DD even!!! ...and no she doesn't care that I'm mentioning all this on a website, she's always talking about them to anyone who will listen! :P She deserves it too, they look amazing!! BTW, I'm using her surgeon most likely!

I do appreciate her though because she totally defended me to all the folks there who kept telling me to stop losing. She gets it because in all honesty she's very thin but she's also been one of those who constantly say she wants to lose more. It's crazy because before I could never see it... but tonight I did. I seen it in her belly. It's not bad at all, but yeah if she wanted to lose 5 or 10 she talks about I totally get it. Is that something normal? Does anyone else notice little chubby flaws in others that they never even dawned on before? THAT was bizarre to me.

Anyway I hope everyone else had as great a 4th of July... it was so nice to see all my family. :) I have a GREAT family!!! B)

      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.
