Thanks for the sites simplejac girl. ANY websites, I have just begun talking with a coordinator for a self pay surgery in MX. Any sites on the surgery, questions to ask, what to expect, how to prepare, life afterwards etc would be great :)

I have a bit of an odd one. It's called mybodygallery.com.

You can put it your height and a weight (the weight you want to be) and body type and it shows you pictures of people that meet that criteria. I have no idea how I will look at certain weights since it has been so long since I have been there. Anyway, it is kind of a fun thing to look at.

I'm really enjoying a blog by one of the VST members. It's by queenofcrop.

How could I forget? This one is a website and it is great at explaining why we have stalls (and what to do): http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

Icon23, one website I really like is http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/carmelita/blog/2011/03/31/-2/

I like it because it contains some statistics and explains the bougie (which prior to that website I hadn't even thought about)

OMG this is so cool. I think I am much smaller looking than I thought. What an ego booster!!

I looked at others around my same weight, and they don't look as fat as I do... Lol or as fat as I perceive myself to be... This has to be a conspiracy!!! Who is behind this website!!! Lol

Funny. I think I have a reverse body image problem. I put in my height and weight and think "oh my gosh, am I really that fat?" Lol!

Perception is reality but not necessarily the truth... We tend to be really hard on ourselves. Btw, I think I found away to go!

      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?

      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.
