I have been here in the hospital receiving excellent care for a week. I am doing my very best to remain positive. But I admit I have my moments of regret' date=' primarily because I can't care for my 14 month of daughter. Mind posting some BEFORE AND AFTER photos as a reminder and source of inspiration?

Best,

Sannah...Merry Christmas and get well soon. I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I do admire your spirit though. Hang in there. It will get better.

This is my before and current. 163 pounds I'll never see again. Someone told me this morning, I've lost a Backstreet Boy. Good riddance.

Your before photo looks like a ER nurse I used to know. What is the time difference between the 2 photos?

I'm 5'6" started @ 289 today I am 190. Still got another 35-40lbs to go, but if I never lost another pound I'd still be happy. I've gone from a tight fitting (and probably stretched out) 44" jean size to comfortably fitting into a brand new pair of 32". And an XXL shirt that couldn't be tucked in to a large, and I can comfortably wear a belt again.

      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.
