As someone who has gone thru this butterfly transformation. From 340 to maintaining 155 lbs... my confidence is thru the roof. My body was going thru all these changes and it has taken a long time for my mind to catch up. Good luck to you all... I think you are all beautiful just the way you are but just wait... It is going to get sooooo much better!!!

So it really will happen? My surgery is Thursday, May 16th. I am currently at 265, I can hardly wait to be 155. I don't think I have weighed that since birth!! Lol

I am with an amazing man who wants to marry me, sometime in the near future, I have not meet the majority of his family, just a couple and when I do meet them,I want to feel good about myself and be liked our disliked :-) for ME, not my weight. He says it doesn't mater, but it does to me! I wasn't him to feel good when he walks in with me by his side. I also want my daughter to feel good when I go to her events and not be embarrassed, she is a teenager after all. Good Luck All :-)

It will happen. I started out 256 and 11 months later I weigh 142. Just follow docs orders and remember when you stall on the scale you lose the most inches!! Good luck!!

These may be crazy, but two things I am REALLY looking forward to are 1- having collarbones, and 2- wearing belts!!! :)

Still seems so far away. I have a 6 month pre-op 'medically supervised weight loss' for the insurance. 2 down, 4 to go lol.

It is funny you mention having collar bones - I made a comment to my mom yesterday that it was strange to have collarbones. It felt weird!

      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.
