Lydia,

Congrats! You look fabulous and you've really rocked your sleeve to get to a 22 BMI and 150 lb.s gone in a year! Thank you for sharing your story- you are an inspiration to me. I'm so glad to hear you are not having trouble maintaining your weight. It's one of my biggest fears that I will regain weight. It's so good to know that for some people, that's not an issue.

OMG, Luvinit! You look fantastic! Just the glow in your face is amazing to see!! Even better is the dress you are wearing in the second picture. One of the gals who attends my WLS Support group has a dress that is very similar to that one and has offered it to me when she's shrinks out of it! It's my mental "goal" to be able to wear that dress, which she says is a size 16! I am working hard to get there, still in about a 22/24, but its' amazing to see it on someone else...and in a smaller size! Woo Hoo!!!

You've done an incredible job and you look amazing!!!

      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.
