I can see such a big difference in your belly from the two pics you have up!!! You are doing a great job & you look fantastic!!! Stay positive & always remember its one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. It took time to gain the weight & it will take time for it to come off. 40 lbs in 11 weeks is awesome & you should be very proud of your progress thus far & may you continue to be so blessed along your journey!!!

That's awesome. I can see the smile and joy in your face with the new you as it's revealed! I think it's positive reinforcement to capture the before... And subsequent many many happy after pictures as we progress along our weight loss journey.

Great progress. You are doing amazingly :) Keep going! @@acampbell1318

Losing 40pounds in 11 weeks sounds fast to me! That's 3.5 pounds a week ... it would be almost impossible to lose that much on a "normal" diet without surgery. And, it probably took way more than 11 weeks to put this much weight on... sp me kind to yourself and patient as it takes time :)

I had a band for 10 years. It took me time at the beginning to get down to a normal BMI... then it was great and I was maintaining (albeit with a lot of hard work!). Then the band failed mechanically, and I had to have it removed, and put the weight back on til obese BMI again :( and now I'm preop for gastric sleeve. Scared, but want to get it done.

      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.
