When I weighed today I was 164 pounds! I weighed 220 pounds starting out and I am 5'2", and so my BMI was 40.23. I was in the "morbidly obese" category. I am so happy to say that my BMI is now 29.99! I am still overweight, but no longer obese. Was anyone else this happy to be overweight??? LOL! I feel kind of crazy being this happy, but I am down to a number that I haven't seen since I was 16 or 17 years old! Can't wait to be in the "normal" range! I am only 14 pounds til my first weight loss goal of 150. It is so weird being where I am, though. I never could see myself losing the weight before surgery. I just didn't feel like it was possible and I thought I would be big forever. Even after surgery I felt like I may lose a little weight, but it was so hard to believe that something like this would happen to me! I am more than happy with my surgery! Best thing I ever did for myself hands down! :P I carry most of my weight in my belly and back...I started losing the weight in my legs and stuff first...can't wait to get rid of my belly so that I can shop at Papayas and just fit into smaller shirts! I started my measurements four days post op. I wish I would have thought about measuring the day before, but unfortunately I missed that opportunity. Here are my measurements before and today:

November 24th, 2013: January 24th, 2014:

      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.
