So I saw everyone else posting pictures and thought I would too:) I unfortunately don't think I have much in the way of before pics as I hardly ever took pictures before and the ones I do have I was always making a super silly face to cover up how insecure I felt:( but anyhow I love my surgery and feel the best I have in years:) I've even been able to come off of my anti depression meds I've been on for six years and anti anxiety meds and super string sleeping pills. I never. Thought I'd be off of these so that makes me proud! I've been working out hard to get as far down as possible before I gain back the 15 percent the dr says most patients gain back but I don't want to be super skinny just fit and strong I really want to utilize my tool to the best of my ability. Sorry about the rant but I've just been feeling so great lol that being said I started at over230 now am 156. I'd like to eventually remain at somewhere between 125 and 130 ish but up to 145 is healthy for me so that'd be okay if I was fit too:) I am still insecure about my arms and feel my face is somewhat chunky. I know some if you have issues seeing yourself the way you are and I know that I do! This is me in south padre about a week ago :) ( please excuse the booty shorts lol it seemed modest at the time as everyone was wearing bikinis:)

      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.
