I'm so excited to be 51lbs down at 6 weeks out!!!

I was sleeved Dec 3rd. I've got 49lbs more to go. But at 6'1" lots of people said I didn't need surgery to begin with (my starting bmi was 40.9) But at 310, I needed it to feel healthy and sexy and just damn good about myself again. So here's the pics. Whatta ya think? :) can you see the difference??

That's why I took the advice on here and made myself take before pictures, because I know I'm still going to see me as heavy even when I lose. I just got sleeved 1/15 and am looking forward to comparing my pictures to see the change. You looked beautiful before and you look beautiful now! Good job on your weight loss! So excited for you!

You are beautiful! How many sizes have you dropped? I think it takes longer for us tall girls to drop the sizes. Keep up the good work. The change is dramatic.

      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.
