Yeah a fellow shortie!!! Thanks for sharing! Do you mind me asking how long it's taken you to drop the weight? The last time I was in a size 8 and medium tops was when I was 130 pounds. I am very fortunate that I put on weight very evenly and have great curves.

I assumed at 145ish I would be a 12! It's crazy how sizing has changed. It took me 9 months and a couple days to get to where I am now. I still want to lose maybe 10-15lbs. 130 was my goal-145 is my surgeons. It's weird to think I can wear a size 8' date=' but one pound ago I was still obese! I'm pretty even now, but the last 20ish pounds I gained before thinking about surgery wound up in my belly (UGH). I've still kept my boobs, too and my hips aren't going anywhere. Here's a pic taken last week and one taken a year ago on the same date :)

Thanks so much for sharing! I have been so nervous about how this will go and what my body will look like. But it looks like we have very similar body types and you look fantastic! I had an interesting comv with my doc about the weight loss goal. I initial said 130 and he agreed the sleeve would get me there. But then he asked when did my weight become an issue. I explained it was right after high school when I was in an abusive relationship. Before that I was 110. Even in college I lost some weight and was able to maintain at 135. I just wish I had celebrated my successes and my body back then. I lived in FL and never wore shorts. But really, thanks again. Seeing what you wrote is making me feel more confident about my decision. I wish there was a way for us to connect outside this forum. I would love to stay in touch.

      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.
