I have been following this wonderful thread. I am so proud of you, Frumpynomore, for starting it and keeping it up! And thank you so much for the pictures. Wow, what a change! No wonder your surgeon wanted to post your pics.

You must be very happy with it. You paid a price in many ways but the results speak for themselves.

And thank you. Lara0280! You look great! I am planning on posting my before and after pics after I reach my goal of one more pound but they are quite a yawn compared to you guys' pics! :)

You are tough, tough, ladies!

Today was Day 20 of recovery and I feel like I've got a little more stamina. It was my 2nd day back at work and it went a lot better than yesterday. I apparently sat too long yesterday at work because last night I had nerve or muscle spasms in my lower abdomen area that felt like labor pains! It wasn't fun and it happened all throughout the night. I knew it had something to do with me sitting too much because I was very uncomfortable all day so I tried to not sit for long periods at a time today and got up from my desk and walked around every now and then. In fact, I spent more time standing than sitting today. I've had a few pains tonight but nothing like last night. If I had a choice I would have taken this week off from work too which would have made a total of 24 days of rest before returning to work and I think I could have handled an 8 hour day better. I'm sure tomorrow will be even better than today so I'll be just fine

I do hope that will be me someday, just saying.

One year on Jan. 16. I have stepped up the exercise big time in the last couple of months so the slow loss at the end is no biggie to me. I have put muscle back on and my clothes fit better and fat is going bye-bye.

After I put my pics up you all can give me opinions on it. I lean toward no, I look OK in clothes and my male modeling career is over. B) I wear a t-shirt when I swim, sun doesn't like my fair complexion so being impressive at the beach is a non-factor.

      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.
