I def agree with the confidence thing. It's hard esp when you're used to being judged by your weight. I wonder how many guys like me know just because I'm skinnier. It sucks. Things they don't tell you...

If you're ever single and in jersey though... Lol

haha, yeah the attention difference is crazy. But dosent bother me because I enjoy the attention now!

Dang!! How much have you lost? Says? Everyone tells me not to aim or skinny, but "healthy." My mom says she thinks I have unrealistic expectations when I say I want to be skinny. TO ME, when I say skinny, I just mean shopping on the normal side of the store but deep down, I wanna get as skinny as you hehe. Are you on mfp, I'm curious what you eat?

Thank you :) surgery was 10/25 so like 11 weeks from the post pics. I'm 5'4" was 230 now 180. I actually haven't gotten into an exercise routine yet at all. I'm an ER and ICU nurse so I have an active job but after I put in my 13 hours I do not hit the gym or run. I plan on starting to walk n jog (not really built for speed lol) in the spring once it's a bit warmer. I used to be very athletic so I've had alot of muscle hiding under my fluff for years n now it's starting to peek out again.

We are not to far apart:) I was sleeved 11-5 at 240 and today I weigh 199;) I do kickboxing every day for an hour.

I hope to look as good as you at your weight;)

      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.
