I've been looking at all your incredible before and after photos and it is breathtaking. You all look at least ten years younger ! - I wanted to ask you all something - when i look at your photos I'm looking at them without knowing you at all so I see them without bias. I'm wondering when you look at your "after" photos do you really see the full difference in yourselves ? what I mean is, are they as startling to you as they are to me ?

The last week has been a turning point to me- I'm finally realizing that I'm genuinely petite (I'm 4'11). I'm wearing between a 6-10 depending on the brand and a small-medium top. It's crazy for me to think of myself as normal- I've never been normal, much less on the smaller side of average- heck I was almost a 10lb baby! But I'm finally realizing that my huge gut is really tiny in proportion, and my thighs are actually pretty darn good looking legs.

When I look at my pictures I wonder "is that really me?" I see an incredible difference in pictures. But sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see myself 85 pounds ago. It's a fight to remind myself I'm not that girl anymore.

Leslie...

For me it is not only startling it is equally devastating. I didn't even realize the real difference until I put the 2 pics side by side.

Its like you look at yourself every day in the mirror so you see some changes but not really. I still see a huge person in the mirror even though I have lost what I have. My mind has not yet caught up with my body.

A a current photo (I am not done yet' date=' still in progress). The horse I am riding is on the smaller side compared to what I am used to.

My before photo is of me just standing. I will be honest, it is hard for me to look at that photo, but it is a good reminder of where I never want to go again.[/quote']

      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.
