Greetings to you all! I am really curious as people always assume I am older than I am; which is not a bad thing. So I want to do a little experiment, I want to post a picture of myself now, pre-surgery and see how old you think I am. This is not something where you say oh, 19, and think 29 haha. I want the hard numbers that you genuinely see. I want to see if I age from weight loss or lose years. I am attached a few pictures taken within the last year. Thank you for your honesty. Also yes, the little boy is my nephew. Love him so much!!

Well you look quite a bit younger than I do so I'm going to guess 32?

Sorry I'm a horrible judge of ages!

I usually think people are much older than they are so always say 10 or more years younger when asked.

So I'm guessing you're 12 :D

Whatever age you are I'm pretty sure you will look younger later!

I have a niece with similar features and body composition as you and she is 27......so I'll venture a guess at 27.

Hm, 29-32 ish?

I've often wondered the same thing.

(Eta, you look young 20s in your profile pic and I think late twenties/early thirties in the pic where you're not smiling, but I've always been so bad at this)

Saying that people guess high, makes it more difficult to guess right. Some people get carded in their 40s. You have a young looking face. My guess is you could be as young as 20 or as old as 32.

I'll say 33. But clothes and hairstyles can make someone look older or younger. The first 2 you looked younger than the last 2.

      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.
