But when I look in the mirror I don't see 255 I see a little more IMG_1984.JPG

Great job! I went through the same thing and didn't feel like I saw any changes in the first few months, but others kept saying I looked better. It wasn't until last month, month 3 for me, that I saw it only after having my picture taken in a group photo (not selfie) that I was amazed with the difference. You may not see it yet, but you will soon. Keep up the great work!

I have a hard time seeing the weight loss too. But I'm wearing clothes in my closet that I couldn't wear before. And today, i noticed that I have more room in my recliner and I can bring up one of my legs comfortably. I know that's a weird thing to notice but it's very noticeable that my hips aren't scrunched in this chair.

      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.
