Great pics. You look fantastic! Can I ask, you said -40 carbs a day? I don't understand what that means.

I log, track, weigh, and measure all the food that I eat on my fitness pal. I eat less than 40 carbs a day. I actually keep them closer to 20 grams a day. Hope this helps.

Absolutely amazing! You look like a different person. I love your shoes, too!

Thank you! I have a ton of super cute shoes. That is one thing as a big girl that I liked to shop for. So the one down side (not) of losing big... My shoe size has gone down by at least a 1/2 size and maybe even a full size. Someone at goodwill will hit the motherload when I donate them! Im waiting to replace them until I get the last 20 lbs off.

Wow! You look like a different person. Awesome! Would you mind telling what your beginning and present weights are?

Ok...so it has to be our little secret... I started at 340 and have lost 172 lbs. I am 5'7 tall. There is a great website ...something like body image gallery (you will have to google it) that will show you what real life people at your hight and weight will look like at certain weights. This was pretty helpful to me. When I started this process I picked a size 12 as my goal. Well I got there and was suprised to find out that as an apple shaped person I was still pretty fat. The size 12 I had in my head was hour glass shapped and must have been Amazon height. I am now a 10 and still look fairly hefty. My 20ish lbs I want to go will put me into my normal bmi range with a little room for bounce back.

Oh ok that makes sense. Less than 40 not negative 40. Thought u were counting impact carbs or something I don't really understand. Thanks for the quick response.

      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.
