So I went over a friend's house I haven't seen in many many years and we took a photo before I left. I decided to compare it to the photo I took the day before surgery. I can't see much of a difference yet but I definitely feel a lot different now. My feet don't hurt and I don't get winded easily anymore. I am still wearing the same size clothes although some things are getting a little baggy.

Just thought I would share. I also chopped of 8 inches from my hair since then too.

Edit: Whoops the photo should say day before surgery 363, sorry typo.....

Love the smile on the after surgery picture. But, do you have the weights mixed up? You don't weight MORE after surgery, do you?

I can already see a difference in your face! I think it takes longer to go down sizes in the bigger ones. At least that is what I experienced last time I lost a bunch of weight. It took longer in the sizes beginning with a 2 but went faster once below that. I can't wait to say good-bye once and for all to the sizes that begin with a 2!

You can completely see a difference in your face. Also, never grow your hair out again. Your haircut is so flattering!

Thanks everyone.

There was a typo in the before weight which I noted when I edited the post. I was 363 the day before surgery.

I can definitely see a difference in your neck and face. You look beautiful. Keep on doing what you are doing and I'm sure the weight will continue to drop off. I love the hair cut.

I see a difference but I know what you mean about the pant sizes. I guess because most of my pants have a stretch waist and since our tummies are somewhat moldable into pants, I wasn't really noticing a difference for a bit. It just seemed like, yeah, I'm still wearing the same ones, I have finally gotten to where I am wearing a few I wasn't able to wear. I think when you carry a lot of upper body weight, it just seems to be slower. You are doing great!! ;)

      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.
