Yes I do <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> sometimes we don't see a difference cuz we are used to being fat. Then when others notice we suddenly start to notice different areas. I lost 53 pounds & I notice good things but in my mind I'm still fat so I see my self fat.

Ur rite cause I feel fat sometimes I feel if I have gained weight for some reason is weird I think my mind play with me

Only 25 pounds in five weeks?? When was the last time that you lost 25 pounds in five weeks pre-op? You're doing fantastic!! Congratulations!! "Body image" is almost entirely in the brain which is a fancy way of saying that you see what your brain expects to see. Even though we all can see a dramatic difference in your photos, your brain is lagging behind. Crazy as it sounds, it's quite common to hear folks comment that they can't see the change in themselves even though everyone else does. Be patient - your brain will catch up and you're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
