Looking at my pants 18 saying wow! Had 3 Kids & tube tight so nothing is holding ne back from losing weight but I cook so damn good I kept having seconds. When I decided to do surgery I did excellent on my diet before surgery. Now it's all about getting sexy.

I'm still surprised every time I see a picture of myself or catch a glimpse in the mirror of how fat I am. In my head I'm still a size 8 girl with a booty. After the birth of my daughter, having to buy size 24 pants...worst day ever. Can't wait to be in the "normal" sizes.

I have always been overweight and bigger than people my age. I guess when I really noticed a definite weight gain was after I got married. I gained about 50 pounds. Some traumatic things happened in my life and I just gave up caring. I cannot wait until I have my surgery and hit my goal weight! I don't ever remember being at a healthy weight. I just want to know what that feels like, lol!

A coworker took an unflattering picture of me.....I was actually a little mad at her thinking she just wanted me to look awful until I realized that no matter what angle the picture is taken I had gotten too big. I was living in self denial thinking others couldn't see my extra layers. Nothing like a candid snapshot to make you see how you really look.

      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.
