That is a great idea! I never even thought of Protein bars!! Protein Shakes are harder, I am ok with Unjury, but cannot stomach them each day. I hate drinking protein, SO I will have to get a bit more creative. My new years resolution! I am so grateful to everyone here, ddc96 (that is a heart in case it come up weird) Also to add to the other great photos, I am 2 months out tomorrow (halloween surgery) I am down a total of 88lbs. 50 prior to surgery, and 38 in 2 months. I cannot complain at that!

Holy moly!!! U look amazing girl!!!!! WOW!!!! Congrats!!! Keep up whatever u r doing!!!!!!! :)

Love the before and after pics!!! I need to find a before…

I have my 3 month appointment coming up next monday.. I'm supposed to do blood work, but I'm a little nervous about it.. I've had an infection in my tooth, long story short, the dentist opened up the tooth to let it drain and I've been on antibiotics for a couple days.. Since all of this tooth business, I have not taken any Vitamins, I can't chew at all.. I'm hoping once the pain goes away I can start chewing.. I know its only for a few days, but with the blood work coming up, I'm a little nervous it'll show up that I'm deficient.. I guess I'll have to see what happens…

I am so sorry you are going through this! Hugs. I also hope your blood work comes back fine! I am positive in thinking that it will, you have been trying so very hard at this.

Thanx!! I'll definitely explain to the surgeon what happened, but I'm hoping the blood work comes back good!!

Thanks, ladies! I can't wait to see your progress pics. Even though I've gone down 2-3 sizes so far, it wasn't until I put my photos side by side that I saw a difference. Molly

I did the same thing. I was so excited after seeing the side by side shots, like "omg! Now I know why everyone else keeps telling me I'm melting". I just don't think we really see the full extent of our weightless when we see ourselves in the mirror everyday.

      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.
