A year ago, I would never have imagined I would be sharing pictures of me in a bathing suit online.

Isn't it amazing what can happen in a year?

I've lost over 70 pounds. These pictures are from last week. Please ignore the multiple colors of skin being exposed. I have not yet figured out how to buy bathing suits and summer clothes that have similar exposure patterns, so I am brown, red and go-blind white.

The last picture shows the area I still really need to work on: my upper thighs, but things in even that area are so much better than a year ago. :)

Thanks, everyone!

My husband actually uploaded these to Facebook before I'd even seen them, and I thought I'd be mortified. I was pretty pleased. I would have been ready to kill him if he'd done it a year or two ago. LOL!

      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.
