The first picture is about a month out from surgery. The second is last night. I'm 6 days away from being 6 months out. I'm 115 lbs down. I have my 6 month post op appointment tomorrow and I'm SO nervous! I want my surgeon to be proud, and I want my levels to be good. I went to my 2 week pre op, but missed my 3 month. Anyways... Fingers crossed!

Insane. My mind is just starting to catch up to my body. I've still seen myself as the 300lb person. It's crazy to think I'm under 200lbs, in 6 months. I have bones! Who knew! Collar bone, knee caps, hip bones... I'm actually not a fan of them. Lol. Maybe I'll get used to them!

Thanks y'all! I remember looking at before and after pictures before I had my surgery and thinking, "that's totally unimaginable.. That'll never be me!". But it's becoming me! If you're thinking about this surgery... DO IT! Now! :) Best thing I ever did for me and my family!

      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.
