Good Morning I love sharing my story Start wt-246Current-119Ive lost more than I currently weigh!!I'm in A size 2 and extra small tops. It's amazing.

You would think after losing 127 lbs and having my sleeve for 14 months I would get used to the side by side but I still don't recognize myself.

What was your starting weight and have you reached your goal? Do you work out?

Sorry for the questions but you are very insipiring! I am 9 days post op and so WOW by your transformation!

What was your exercise regime like?

When I made the decision to have weightloss surgery it wasn't just to lose weight. I also wanted to gain back who I lost in those 246. part of that was letting go of the food and constantly remind myself I am way more worthy than a cheeseburger or chocolate shake. I deserve to enjoy what I want in moderation. I lost really fast and had most of my weight gone by 8 or 9 months. Again, I stopped focusing on food. I keep myself accountable and the second I feel out of control I confide in someone. I know that sounds weird but it's my way of reminding myself that I will NOT hide and eat after everyone goes to bed. Hope that helps. :)

I hate this question mostly because I should have done things different but with a full time career, 5 children and no energy due to low caloric intake I never have exercised through this process. I do have a ton of skin but not sure exercising would have made that big of a difference. I have no regrets and I think If it's successful you're doing it the right way.

I was educating my best friend about the surgery, showing her this site. She wanted to look at before and after pics. Yours is one of the best. You looked lovely, and very happy in your before picture, but you are radiant in your after pic. It is very inspirational for those of us heading into this.

      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.
