DAAAAAAAMMMNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I got to say! :) You got it going on. In your before photos, it seems like you're wearing all black, but in your after photo you have bright yellow on. I would assume that the bright colors are a symbol of how you feel on the inside. Radiant! You look so happy. :) Your journey is definitely an inspiration to us all. I can't wait to get sleeved and join that losers bench with you. GREAT JOB!!!

its sooo funny you mentioned the colors!!! its so true! sooo soo sooo true! i barely ever wear black now! it even goes with the decor in my bedroom. i redecorated my room & painted & all. the walls are a caramel/peanut butter color with brown decor. i never felt confident enough to be the girly girl that i am. im DESPERATELY dying to paint my room hot pink now! i felt so trapped in my body & my insecurities! now i feel alive & sexy & happy! :)

thank you for your comment :)

i cant wait for you to join the losers bench as well.

      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.
