310 to 210 and a size 24/3x to a 12/L.

I'm two years out. I got down to 194 and I've gained weight (but not size) since I've been working out pretty frequently. All though I'm happy with my size 12, I'm still feel like I should be about 30lbs less but my doctor is happy and said not to stress about it too much because I have a large frame.

It's been close to a year since my surgery. Progress is slow, but no regrets. About 70 lbs. down from my highest weight.

Me at my heaviest I was 360lbs. 11 months out I'm 220. I try to see the new me by putting pictures side by side... A lot of the times I still see the bigger person.

I know what u mean. I keep some of my old clothes around to remind myself how far I ve come. Its hard when the chart still lists u as overweight and ur doing all u can.
It is hard. Some people are so judgemental. I remember after my first fastric band and i had list 75 pounds...feeling great! Then some rude person called out to me " hey have another burger love!"...it was devastating. I dont eat burgers anyway....but i had basically only eaten yoghurt for 12 months.

Naturally slim people have no idea of our struggle.

      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.
