I came into this world at 8lbs 5oz and have been obese ever since. I have no idea what "small " feels like. I don't remember what it was like to sit with my legs crossed. But I'm determined to find out!

8.5 is small. My son was 10.8! :-) I'm sure you'll reach a size you'll be pleased with. I want to do something REALLY special when I reach my goal. I have never been high maintenance. We never had a real honeymoon, special anniversary trip, real vacation, or cruise. When I reach my goal it's NOT going to be cheap... Lol

If you think your not losing enough weight. You wanna see bones. I'm not afraid to show you. I have till next year 3 months before surgery to gain weight if not surgeon will not operate on me.

Being slim is cute if your looking at my bones that's not cute. This is what 5 foot 113 pounds looks like

No you look fantastic! BUT I do understand the need for personal satisfaction with yourself. If you feel you need the plastic surgery, go for it! You will still look amazing. :D

Yes. I've seen a lot of before and after pictures and for some people there excess skin makes it look like they didn't lose very much weight. I won't have an option of plastic surgery so if my excess skin is bad ill have a body image issue with that too

Ok so ask your self this question. Don't you alread have a body image issue? Also would you rather lose 100 pounds and have 20 extra that you need surgery to take care of.. Everyone is different. Last month I was convinced that I need the surgery I my stomach area and well my body still had some surprise and it still loosing inches. Her I the gym a soon as you can and take up a sport. May train for a marathon.

      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.
