Hi everyone i decided to share some pics of myself b4 and updated ones, yesterday i went shopping with my oldest child and saw a few friends that i hadn't seen in a while and i must say their reactions when they saw me was PRICELESS and felt AMAZING =) i know i still have a looooong way 2 go but at almost 3 months out the feeling is just incredible my stamina, energy is just over the roof i am soo happy with the new me i have to admit i still can't get used to NOT shopping in the plus size section all of my pre-surgery clothes were sizes 1x 2x and even 3x, 18, 20, and 22, and now everytime i walk in a store i automatically walk towards plus sizes and my daughter grabs me and says mom you are no longer in those sizes lol gotta love her now i am size medium and by the looks of it i need to start buying small from now on pant size 12 ....words just can't explain how wierd but GREEEAAT it is, i feel VERY restricted as far as eating, sad part my hair has started to fall and my scalp hurts alot, but its all worth it anyways sorry so long thanks 4 reading ;)

Thanks Lioness813 Congrats 2 you, Recovery from surgery i have to say was great no complications at all thank God the only thing was that after surgery i could not drink my Protein Shakes the smell, the taste, i just can't and i haven't been able to do so since so i try and get my Protein from my foods, i don't feel hungry much of the time, a daily sample menu for me would be Vitamins in the morning, i have a boiled egg for Breakfast or some oatmeal, then 2 hours later i'll have some fruit and cheese, then if i get hungry for lunch i'll have some tuna with 3 or 4 unsalted crackers then dinner would be a chicken salad, or chicken and vegetables or Soup, i have already tried most of the foods i used to eat b4 surgery already like bread and rice which i dont eat much of because i feel are too strong on my little stomache, but i haven't had any problems with any of the foods yet i just feel my stomache very restricted still like 2 or 3 spoons or bites of something and i am full then in the evenings i take my Calcium vitamins and a snack before bed like a fruit, or sugar free hot cocoa something light

      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.
