It is so weird how our brains work. You look so good and are definitely NOT fat if that helps at all. Keep up the good work! ;)

It does but it so weird I have never felt like this

Well....you are definitely skinnier than me! LOL

But I find that I see everyone's pictures and see that they look great...and I think that everyone looks thinner than me...even when I look at their posted size or weight and I am smaller? Its strange!

Thanks. I am down to a size 11/12 from a 18/20. I was able to buy medium sized shirts the other day. It felt amazing to not get depressed shopping and be able to fit into clothes from Charlotte Russe!!!

I think it's a bit of a body image issue. I have my own issues when I know I don't quite look like the same person to others . Only time I can really tell I look much different is in side by side pics. That's what keeps me going. There are some issues tho in the work that might derail me soon so I'm trying to be grateful for how far I've come as I may go no further. I think u look amazing! Not only that u look amazing for a mom of 7 kids!!!! That just blows my mind! No way no how!!! I understand how it feels but trust me u look beautiful girl!!!

      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?

      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.
