He was. He said he saw me walking toward him and he had to double take before realizing it was his wife. I loved that!

No, I will not be posting any pics, as im a private person, but yes, I still look in the mirror and think how much better I look than 2 yrs ago. Big difference !!! Before, heavy set, chunky body, eyes hidden by the full face, not looking healthy at all. Now, a slim healthy body with a slim face and neck, bright eyes and a happy smile !! Its very noticable in a good way !!

That's cool, you look younger too! I noticed that when I have lost weight in the past, it seems to shave years off my appearance (if favorable). At one point when I was overweight, I was only about 17 but looked like 45 because I had such a puffy face. When I lost weight and started putting on makeup, I realized how pretty I could be (no ego, but just discovering a new person, kind of).

      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.
