Wow, thanks everyone! Not at goal yet, but on my way. Here's my most recent photo at 113lbs lost. I have 30 more pounds to lose to reach my goal, and just 20 to reach my surgeon's goal.

You really do look amazing. Can I ask you if you have a lot of extra skin? If yes, how do you deal with it?

I've lost 114 lbs since June a d was wo seeing if you had any Hair loss issues arou d no th 4 or 5. Your hair looks thick but mine is very thin and balding on top.
My surgeon says it's normal when you lose so fast. And Will usually stop falling out 6 months to a year. Any hair problems?

I have had a lot of Hair loss. I am not balding, but I had a lot of hair to begin with. I have lost about 50% of my hair volume, and was very worried for a while. But while I started losing hair at 4.5 months, it stopped falling out rapidly by 6 months. Now it seems like just normal hair loss, and I am not freaked out.

Thanks everyone! By way of update, I am now down to 159, and my surgeon's goal for me was 160. So that's awesome! I am in a size 6 pant, and size medium top and dress. It's just surreal!

      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.
