Keep taking those pix sweetie! I, like you, see more in a pix than by any other means. In fact, i don't see fat at all when I look in my home mirrors. It's like someone who is anorexic only sees fat when he/she looks in a mirror--only reverse. I truly see myself as thin, until I'm forced to face the reality of it in a picture.

It appears you are having wonderful success and you look amazing!

Sometimes you have to step back a bit to see the whole picture, especially when you're the main subject.

You're doing great and you've got the undeniable proof! Congrats!

You look great! I love taking pictures now! I used to hide behind one of my kids if I "had to" take a picture for the past 17 years.....now I'm taking pictures right and left of myself to mark my progress, pictures with the hubby, pics with the kids. It's remarkable too because I look so much happier.

Congratulations on your progress!!

      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.
