Thank you everyone! I can't believe it's me on the right. I also can't believe I was ever that person on the left. Out of curiosity, does anyone post op 8months+ see themselves as the before person still?

I'm 11 mons post op yesterday. It took me a while, but now all I see & really love is the new me. Someone told me yesterday that they didn't remember be being overweight. I showed them a before picture, I think I was more shocked then they were when I saw my picture. I totally don't see the old me.

I'm 7 months out. I traveled home this past weekend to visit my parents. My mom and I were in her room and she had a pic of me on her dresser from a vacation years ago. I looked at it and said... omg I was so fat! It's hard to imagine being that big now...only 7 months later :)

For me I see myself getting smaller and I don't picture myself as still heavy. My hw was 232. I am now 155 at 6 months post op. What I have a hard time understanding is how I carried around and extra 77 pounds.

      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.
