BTW, @@Teresa in Texas

Thank you! I didn't realize how big I had gotten. My husband has always, always told me how beautiful I am. He's a keeper.

Very inspiring! Do you mind me asking if you have much loose skin? Please forgive me if that's too personal.

I have some loose skin. Not going to lie. But not horrible. I think if I'd work out and build some muscle up it would probably almost disappear.

BTW, I'm lazy. My version of working out is cleaning house and hiking. Love hiking, but my hiking buddies knees, my husband, have been bothering him. He had the surgery and lost 50 pounds. Remained obese. Gained some of that back. This surgery isn't a miracle cure. You have to make lifestyle changes. He didn't. I don't know if you can stretch your stomach back out, but I've watched him eat. He eats as much or more the surgery. Me, I can barely get a cup/ cup and a half of food down still.

I have some loss skin. Not to much. But I have had two kids and multiple surgeries. My arms, legs, boobs and belly definitely have some skin but nothing I can't handle. BUT definitely sag when I lean forward. So, I don't lean forward.

      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.
