Although I'm not there yet, this is a fear I have as well of all the hanging skin. I know I will have some, I've been fat my entire life, I'm in my 30's so it's not going to bounce back, it's been stretched for too long. I'm scared. But I think even though we see the hanging skin and stretch marks, we have to think of how much healthier we are becoming, how many more years we've added back into our lives. It is a start with complimenting you on your hair. Give it time, he will come around. You are a beautiful woman, now you need to start believing it. I've been thinking of going to a therapist to work these things out. Maybe it's something you could look into as well, if only to build up your confidence. You are an inspiration and I thank you for sharing your story. Write down your goals, baby steps ☺

Thank u. Your words mean alot to me. I ordered hip hop abs last night cause I need to try to get that fun and younger side to me. I'm pretty much thinking going back to therapy would be good for me I had been seeing someone before surgery but haven't went in a while. I got up earlier this morning to try to put makeup on. I have my Spanx under my scrubs and ready to face the day.

      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.
