I thought I would be embarrassed initially by comments on my weight loss, but it's actually awesome, I plan to keep the old scrubs and go to them whenever I lose my mind set, and I've kept all my promises, I even talked one of my wife's friends into having it, as I found out last night, she is going with my surgeon and I promised to be there to her Til after a few months out of surgery, ironically I wanted to keep my humility by giving and plan to continue in doing so........

I'm keeping one dress from my highest weight as a reminder.

@Blerdgirl: so it's not a bad idea to keep your biggest clothing??? Someone said I should have a goodbye party and burn it, but I keep thinking that if I can go back from time to time it will keep me grounded

You look great! Well done!

I dont think it is a bad thing at all to keep a pre-surgery item of clothing. I kept one pair of jeans. It is nice to try them on occasionally and see just how much difference the loss has made. Pictures work, but there is something so tangible and real to hold up those big pants and think that they used to fit... and remember how much we never want to go there again. Trying them on is a great way to realize the progress and stay motivated!

That's awesome! Way to go!!! I kept one outfit at my largest size and blank fit in one leg of my pants and can wear my shirt as a long baggy belted dress. I think one set is great then get rid of the rest!

Awesome job!! You look fantastic!! I also am going to keep my biggest pair of jeans as a reminder of what I never want to be again. It will help motivate me when I get discouraged.

Congratulations! Pictures such as yours are so inspirational. If you don't keep the scrubs, at least keep these photos as a reminder of how far you've come.

      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.
