Remember before surgery - when someone would snap a picture of you and when you saw it you'd think "oh my god am I really THAT big? It can't be." ? How you always looked bigger is photos than you thought you did in real life? [which we all know now unfortunately was not the case]

Well the same thing happens to me now but the opposite. I'm constantly thinking I need to lose more and I'm still a pudge but sometimes people or even I will take photos of me and I don't recognize the girl on the photo. As per example, I NEVER thought my arms were thin and would ya look at this picture I took yesterday:

Finally starting to love myself and the results of this surgery! 8 months out and will never turn back :D

Thank you!!! I am 21 at 5'8" and my highest was 276 and my surgery weight was 263. I'm hovering between 150-160 right now. Would still like to lose another 20lbs because of flab but am happy just being in my "average weight" bracket.

I just go to classes at the gym when I can, Ultima fitness for me. So I do yoga and cardio and muscle training classes. Way more fun

      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.
