Hi guys and gals! I'm not big into before and after pics. I'm only posting this to help the newbies who may have been at my height and starting weight. It would of been helpful to me in the beginning. I am seven months out. I am only posting a side pic' date=' because I don't want the front of of my big fat face showing on the interwebz. Hehe. My pants in the after shot are getting a bit baggy now...but anyhow, here it is. I still have about 18 lbs to goal.[/quote']

You are right, it is helpful thank you. I'm almost 5'2 and right about your start weight. I am having issues with insurance and my "not good enough" comorbidities at present due to my fluctuating BMI over the last 2 years. Still ready to fight the good fight as I am convinced I will feel so much better, and I know me best.;-)

Honestly' date=' you looked great in your before picture. I'm surprised that you decided on surgery at such a low weight. Anyways, congrats because you look fantastic![/quote']

That's 80 lbs she needed to lose. Thats hard to lose and keep off. My husband and I needed to each lose the same and after years of failing, we went ahead with the surgery too. Look at my pics in my gallery at 222 and 5'6 or my husband at around 275 and 6 feel tall. Ours are front facing too. We are overweight with 80-90 lbs to lose.

      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.
