Alex,

Great photos! I can really see a difference in you from the first one! And I'm with you in thinking that I look better in the mirror than in photos. I do think that because of the angles and the whole two dimensional thing that the camera does add weight. And, having seen you this week, I do think you really look smaller than you look in the second photo.

I have a girlfriend that knows that I had the surgery but we haven't seen each other since just before the surgery. She's always asking me for photos of my progress and I send them to her, but always with the caveat that "I really *do* think I look thinner than the photo!"

Hey Alex your pictures are great. I love seeing your sweet little girls too. It reminds me of when my little girls were little. But now I get little grandkids. I have to admit I miss your sweet little head tilted picture of you and your daughter, that was under your name . This one is cute too but it comes out kinda of dark on my computer. Guess I am not used to it yet. Thanks for sharing and every thing.....Janie

You look great, Alex. And even your girls look happier in the "after" photo. Beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your success with us. Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to post photos, too.

      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.
