I just really wanted to post a couple pics of my year journey. I am a little late with this but better late than never. I hope I have this photo thing figured out. I have been working with this all morning.

I will definately have to come back and post some full body shots so you guys can really see the difference. But I will repeat my stats for you here. I started a 298lbs wearing 22's & 24's at 5'7. I now weight 170-171lbs wearing 6's & 8's still 5'7 lol.

The first two pics were on vacation to my hubby's home state. And the last is recent, November as a matter of fact. We took some family photos.

Lost 128lbs and countless inches. Started my journey April of 2010 with a seminar. Had my surgery 12-14-2010. I have not looked back since. I am very greatful to God for this blessing. I would not be the person I am today without it.post-39617-1381366889396_thumb.jpg post-39617-1381366889444_thumb.jpg

      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.
