Wow, such a difference!!

Do you find that you spend more time "investing" in your looks now, like hair, makeup, etc?

Hi White sale. Thanks. Yea I spend more time on my hair now because I feel better about self but also because it is as really thinned out more. Hoping I stop losing hair more soon. I had a lot of really thick hair to start but has thinned so do spend more time on that. Dont normally wear makeup still that much but I have been if go out with friends more (plus cause single now). I don't have any on in my pics. I think it is all about making yourself feel good about new you inside (how healthy feel) & out (appearance). I find myself too spending more time picking out clothes to wear too because it is more fun now.

Yes. I thought we had around the same stats judging by your photo. I was sleeved a couple weeks before you

Surgery date 8/25/16

Starting weight 250

Current weight 179

Height 5'4"

How tall are you?

I've basically found my surgery twin

Wish there was a way to "friend" people on here. Would love to follow your progress.

You look great! Awesome 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.
