Thank you for sharing your pics and journey. One year out - it seems so far away now. It is so good to read your story and know I will get there!

Your pics are fabulous. So nice to have the side by side comparisons to see how far you've come! And you look so beautiful, radiant, happy, and healthy!

You didn't mention having any plastic surgery. Did you have any? If not, any plans to have any?

I have not had any plastics. My surgeon is encouraging me too, he thinks my arms/legs look great but that I should have the tummy done. Sigh. I'm just soooooo not ready for that yet. After I get closer to goal and stay there for a good long time, maybe I will consider it. But for now, I'm not planning on plastics...yet!

Thank you all for the VERY kind words, it's SO nice to come here and have everyone "get it."

Of course I *wish* I was at goal, but it just going to take some time getting there. As long as the scale keeps going down in the right direction, then I'm okay with that!

      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.
