After Pic And Stuff.....



Recommended Posts

SO I am going to try and attach a recent pic of me here...and update my photo album. I can see a drastic change in my face - but of course, I see it every day and I have to look at older pics of myself to really notice.....

Isn't it strange how our eyes take so much longer to catch up to our reality??post-49598-13838396251615_thumb.jpg

Im the same way, I dont always see it when I look in the mirror, I can usually only see a difference when I put a before and current one side by side.

Its funny though at my heaviest I knew I was big, but didnt realize until I saw a picture or lost weight how big I really was, weird how things are.

Look at your skinny cheeks and chin! Yep, big difference.

And I'm just shy of 2 years post-op and I still somedays have a hard time seeing myself as smaller. For instance I will hold up a pair of jeans out of the laundry and think that they belong to my almost 12 year old daughter who is 5'3" and wears a ladies size 8. Then it will dawn on me that they are really my size 12 jeans. :blink:

      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.
