Wow!! Thank God I have my psych eval tomorrow or I might go nuts. I was just tagged in a photo and I had no idea I looked this way!! Holy f**k!! That's the only way to describe how im feeling. I'm so happy I found this site because all the positive outcomes have helped me know that this is for sure right for me. Well, that and this horrifying pic.

Don't you hate that though! You get all dressed for whatever occasion, look in the mirror before you leave thinking, "hey, I look pretty good today!", then someone comes along with a camera and you're like "Damn! Really!!".

Well, just think down the road maybe 6 months or so after surgery and someone takes a picture and you're like "Damn! I look really good! (I'm only 7 weeks so waiting for this day myself!)

Mrs. Fuller, I can totally relate. I've been feeling like that a lot lately.

I feel that way every time I see a picture of myself! I look in the mirror and am at least content with how my clothes fit, but then I see a pic and my stomach drops and my heart feels soooo heavy. 4 weeks to go before I get my referral to my surgeon -- can't wait!

      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.
