I just want to take a minute and say how abso-freakin'-lutely AWESOME it is to see the updated pics that are starting to get posted, and profile pics that are changing with the 9-6 month crowd (kinda what I lump myself in at the moment) - We are changing so much!

I want us all to be very prowd of ourselves, and feel really good! yay! Yay for US!

For those coming our way, you will see this too! You will have this NSV too!

Hugs to all in a really feel-good moment I had to share!

We are changing so much

Pookeyism.

I don't have any old pictures of myself, i am still looking though.

I never wanted pictures taken of me being heavy.

My DH took a couple of pictures of me the day before WLS was too ashamed to post -_-

In other words i will never see an actual picture of myself to compare - before/after :(

I know i've lost alot of weight, but i can't "see" it from 6+ months ago/to now

Didn't feel that great about myself before - feel much better,healthier,happier now

i know that once again that the sleeve is only a tool to make me feel even better, i still have to deal with other weight issues, self esteem too, nothing is a quick fix, i do know that

some people look so good that there dr. wants to show before/after pictures in an advertisement. hmmm Pookey?

feel much happy about myself

don't look too bad either :lol:

good luck to us all

Is your pain any better? Did you determine what it was?

Hopefully you are feeling better :)

I love seeing new pictures, too! It's astounding how much everyone changes in so little time! I still don't 'see' it in my pictures, but it must be there because it's there for all my sleeve sisters and brothers!! :)

I've been in a stall for about 3 weeks getting back to basics Protein, protein, protein few carbs may be this will give me a jump start. 45 more lbs to goal but I feel so good now.

      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.
