We were in the same boat, I'm also 30 years old, I weighted 303 but lost 43 prior to the surgery! I've always been comfortable on my skin, and honestly I was consider with my self esteem after the surgery because honestly I've always been a confident girl regardless of my weight! But honestly girl even 4 days post op I'm so excited! You'll be great and you know what I think about extra skin but you need to make sure your getting all your Calcium because that helps with the extra skin and a good workout!

I lost 43 during the whole process not within 14 days post opt! I starting working on my weight the day I left the consultation and from Sept 11 til Jan 31, 2013 I lost 43 lbs! To be honest I don't do pics because I have shared my decision to have the surgery with anyone but 1 close friend and my mother and sister! But I will email you my pics of the my weight loss prior to surgery and of course ill keep you updated with the weight loss pic after surgery but I don't believe I lost to much because its only been 4 days!

      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.
