Well, I just took my "before" pics (my surg is in 5 days). I always avoid cameras and I am truly shocked to see myself now. I was unaware of my true size. Come on 5 days.....

I didn't take any pictures, nor did I save any clothes. Those memories I can do without! Always looking forward...

Mine's July 30th too! You're the first one I've seen with my same date.

And I'm sure I'll keep the pics but they disgust me right now!

Cool! We can keep each other posted. What time is ur surgery? Yes the pictures are something I'm not proud of, but will be a reminder of what I don't want to look like.

My surgery is at 7:30. You?

I plan on keeping the pics, like you said, as a reminder. But, I hope nobody sees them. I was embarrassed myself, and horrified! But, we're down to four days. :)

I'm so excited....and maybe 2% scared.

LoL me too. 7:30 am but the nurse said I have to check in at 6 am. What I did with my pictures is e-mailed it to my self and made a folder and saved it, after that I deleted it from the camera. Now I know no one can see my pictures. Yes I agree excited and a lil scared. I'm getting the sleeve procedure. How about you?

Not sure what time I have to be there....probably bout the same. That's a good idea with the pics cuz I sure don't want people to come across em on my camera! I'll have to do that too. :)

I am getting the full bypass. I wish it were this time, next year, so I'd be skinny!!! LOL.

LoL! I know right. There's a part of me that wants to pack some of my colthes that I don't want to fit in, but I know it to early. I do have an old black dress I bought years ago that I never put on, but it will be my inspiration dress. I would like to fit in it. LoL!

I'll be happy to fit in some of the stuff I have already! But yeah, km already wanting to throw everything out and start over! I wear scrubs to work and I can't wait to get smaller ones. :)

Are you on a pre-surg diet of any kind?

      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.
