20 pounds from goal, and I:

1. Have a hard time sitting for long periods of time, since my butt is bonier.

2. Can't sleep on my side easily, since my knee-bones rub together.

3. Years ago, I broke a collar bone, and never noticed that it's more recessed than the other one. Never used to show.

My friend, I can so feel your pain, but WOW isn't it great NOT to be carrying around the fat suit all the time? :)

Lisa ~ ditto! I like those NSV's TBB! My butt is so boney and my collar bones are showing. My weight loss is virtually at a stand still, but have just gotten into a size 8 Lee Skinny Jeans and a size 6 in slacks! Love it. ;) I feel really good also.

I can't wait til my butt gets boney. Was sleeved on May 8 and have been dealing with a butt so big I could set an extra place setting for Thanksgiving dinner on it! And I'm less than 5 ft tall! The butt and thighs are my nightmare.

I was just sleeved on Monday, so I don't have issues yet - but what about sleeping with a body pillow to help your knees? I've slept on my side almost my whole life - even when I was thin before - but I love my body pillow now.

I was heavy as a kid but when I was 15 my appendix ruptured and I lost about 40 pounds putting me at a fairly low BMI. I remember having to adjust to being slender for the first time in my life and loved every minute of it. :)

      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.
