I started as MORBIDLY OBESE!

Now I am classified overweight...but at almost 5'10'' and wearing 11/12 jeans - I LOOK GOOD!

at 179 I will be in a normal weight range for my height....at 170 I will be amazing!

Uh - I lost a LOT of hair! I dreaded taking showers because of the massive amount of hair that would come out! I had to clean my brush every time I brushed my hair!!! I was fortunate in that I had a LOT of hair to start with. I went and had some long layers cut in, and at the 6 month mark...I have all sorts of baby hair growing in! Lots of little baby hairs sticking straight out of my skull! I just suffered through it knowing it would turn around - and it did!

Did you take Biotin or any other supplement to avoid the Hair loss and it happened anyway?

      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.
