Hi, I am just curious how many of you are over 5'9". I don't see many over this height. I am just under 5'11", female, so I am tall. Anyone else tall? What are your stats? I am just curious to find others with a similar height as me and how your journey is going? :)

I'm 5'8. I had surgery on 5/2. My begining weight. (11/28/2011) was 282.6. My surgery wt was 266. Today I weigh 175.4. Total loss 107.2. My highest weight was 308 in August 2010 after my son was born. My loose skin is actual not that bad. I'm not saying I will ever wear a bikini but I'm able to wear fitted shirts without being able to see any excess skin.

      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.
