For the very first time in my life I'm happy with the pictures that were taken at Christmas. Wow. :(:) :) That's a size 16/18 blouse and size 18 slacks. Even my rings and shoes are smaller!

Well, I'm repeating here, but you do look a lot younger and happier. Congratulations!

Rebeccalee, I look older, but thinner now, too. I still say fat is a great wrinkle treatment.

Thanks everyone!! It's still so hard to internalize sometimes; I still think of myself as morbidly obese even though my BMI is now below 35. Taking it slow is the way to go when working against 40 years of fat. But my brain is catching up, slowly.

Happy New Year, everyone!! :):D :D

      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.
