I can see it now! - Picture included

I have been struggling with the mental stuff lately. Really not being able to "see" the weight loss on myself. Everyone says that I I have lost weight and look great but honestly I couldn't see it in myself. Well I took a selfie the other day to show off my super cute new shirt and that is sort of when it hit me, I see the loss. I still have a hard time when I am naked but at least I am getting there :)

It's definitely a lot easier to see our losses in photos than it is in the mirror. I don't know what that is, but it's certainly true. Good for you!

I had my sleeve done almost 4 years ago. I lost 98 lbs. Know I only like liquid or soft food like cottage cheese. I could stand to loose more but I fluctuate 3-5 lbs. I hate seeing people eat especially if it is a large portion. I end up having an anxiety attack. Anyone else have these issues?

Not sure what your post has to do with this thread, but that sounds horrible. Have you seen a professional about your anxiety issues? Are you anxious because you are afraid for the people eating the food or are you anxious because you are afraid seeing other people eat will make you want to eat things you shouldn't?

It just makes me sick I guess because I remember getting sick early on if I took one bite too many. I can still only eat about 4-5 oz at a time. I do take anxiety meds but I was wondering if anyone else has this kind of struggle. I hate eating.

      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.
