Thanks for the compliments! I resized that last pic, but I still hate my thighs.

I'll trade thighs with you! Seriously, I logged off last night and looked at my thighs in the bathroom mirror, and said "OMGosh, how did she do that?!" since my thighs are a complete mess. I see little hope for them being in shape when this weight losss is over for me. I'm not willing to do a full body lift...which is what I need. Yer butt and thighs look GREAT to me! Smooth and even, not lumpy and gross. Plus, you don't have my spider and vericose veins. Oh, and my pasty white skin. Sigh. Please love your thighs for me! LOL :)

ATTENTION LBT MEMBERS: We have found our LBT super model.

Girl, you look AWESOME! And whats funny is that you dont even have tale-tell signs of being overweight. No saggy-loose stuff or stretchy lines anywhere. You look totally normal. BIG BIG congrat's :clap2:

And I absolutely LOVED the kiddie pics. I bet its not long before you and Rox' are wearing the same clothes!

And the last pic... the one where son's displaying his kool-aid moustache - OMG - made me smile! Such cutie-pies!

I just saw this. My goodness woman you are looking mighty fine. It is strange that I've known you during most of this wonderful trip we are on.

I don't see where you need PS though.

The kids look wonderful and are growing so much. Once school starts again, lets do a lunch or I will make Rusty starting dropping me off in Morgan Hill before his meetings in Gilroy. I MISS YOU!!

Thank you so much for the support during my slip, repair and PS. You are one person who really knew what I was going through emotionally, physically, and most lovingly.

HUGS to the whole family

Sincere congrats on achieving your goals, Vera. You look fantastic and I'd fight anyone here over the chance to have thighs as nice as yours! Do you have any before pics anywhere? I'd love to see the side by sides!

Your kids are beautiful!

      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.
