TAKE THE PICTURES. At almost two years out, I wish I had taken my day before pictures. I now share those "preVSG" vacation pictures to other SoCal citizens who are considering WLS.

You will be amazed at your changes. Do not be ashamed of where you are today, please. You are not ugly, horrible or in denial. You are making a change. Be proud of yourself!

I took mine right before surgery too and was so shocked. What I saw in the mirror and what the camera saw were two different people. I'm so glad I did this and you will be too. Best of luck on Monday, I'll be pulling for ya :)

I couldn't take before pictures, I just couldn't. I know I'll regret it, but the shame was too powerful.

Take the pictures! I did..one month out..omg..there is a difference...take all your measurement..butt ...thigh..arms..waist...neck...I did...hated the numbers...BUT 1 month out I had dropped 11.5 inches off my entire body

..if I hadn't I honestly wouldn't have known. In my mind..I was the same...I am obviously not the same!!!!!

      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.
