Well, I've become inspired by all the before/after pics I've been seeing lately. My photographic approach was slightly different. I decided to do a "reverse" pregnancy photo timeline. Y'all get to see the first peek! I have been trying to wear the same outfit for each pic, and then space the photo's about every 4-6 weeks.

Top row - 2 weeks prior to surgery (night before liquid diet began)

Middle row - 5 weeks post op

Bottom row - 8 weeks post op

I'm at 49 lbs lost - I weighed in at 265 this morning. Would LOVE to be at 250 for the Labor Day challenge, but these pesky stalls, make it difficult to project that far out!!

Anyway - I just wanted to share!! :)

Thanks everyone! It feels so good to be on the losers bench! Even thru the stalls when the needle on the scale doesn't move, the inches keep going down and that's good enough for me! :)

      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.
