Well I must have been absent the day they taught that at fat guy school....cause I surprised myself with this selfie.....I was sweaty as hell from just running 5 miles and I was right in the middle of drinking from my camelbak (yep....a straw!). I told myself to delete that picture cause I'm pretty sure it made me look fat and older than 21....but too late....I already posted it to the world.

I always wonder about updating pics!

I get used to seeing pictures that's how I recognize a poster half the time by pic not name per se... I know bad but hey :)

Well then you guys put new ones up and I get all confused! Do I know this person? The name is familiar but they look different??

I guess that's why I've kept mine the same even though it was from many months and pounds ago...

This thread reminds me of a great thread started many months ago about how the closer to goal someone gets, the wider the shot on their picture. New people always had extreme close ups and people at goal tended to have full body pics.

I kinda like it Laura. You look good in both, but you were smiling in the old one. wish there was some kind of way to have a composite profile pic (then vs. now) or (face vs full body)

Yes like that. Only they would be too teensy to see when on the site or heaven forbid, on the mobile app.

Laura and Butters, is that really you?? I've been a member since August and until i saw these pictures, really didn't know much about your starting points. Y'all have always been slender to me, but these pics are proof that it wasn't always these case.

Butter, were you a bouncer in your former life?

      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.
