Thank you for all these posts, it's a real treat to see start to now. You are absolutely stunning all dolled up for the wedding! Your husband's eyes must've popped clean out of his head when he saw you.

I hope you feel as wonderful on the inside to match.

I started at 260 hw and am now 215 only 2 months out from surgery. I hope to be able to get to onederland before the end of the year. Awesome job.

Thank you! I actually get that a lot. Most friends guess I'm a size 10/12. I think it's because I get pretty narrow right below my boobs (where this dress comes in at) I still want to lose 36-41 more pounds putting me at 145-150. We'll see. I'm just letting my body lead the way lol

      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.
