Lol! Thanks Laura-Ven! I really don't see much of a difference. I'll see myself in the mirror and feel like I'm still the same ole me.

Lol I know the feeling! I look in the mirror and see the same ole me too! And in a sense we are just a smaller package of the "same ole me"

You look beautiful and a lot smaller! Look at those pictures and for just a second look at them as if they were someone else here... Do you see the differences? I'm sure you do :)

I am the SAME way! I cannot tell a difference until I get the pics side by side. Looking in the mirror I see the old me. I'm only two months out, but feel great and am so happy I did this!

Thanks for all the positive comments! It's so weird how our minds play tricks on us. I FEEL great! But when I look at pics, I get disappointed. I don't know if I was hoping to look at a pic and see Angelina Jolie or something! ;P again, thank you!

      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.
