Wow, you lost fast! We started at similar weights, I was 205 last June before the pro op diet for 2 weeks, surgery in July. And I am still at 156. You look amazing. How do you still have hair? I’ve only lost 49 lbs and I have only 1/4 of my hair left. Admitting to envy! But you are inspirational. Congrats!

You look fantastic, this surgery helps alot of people. My weight would always come back it didn't matter what diet I tried, I'm 4'11"
My HW 238 I looked hideous to myself.
My SW 209
Myself CW 147,
I didn't do the surgery for any other reason than to get healthy.
I felt lost in my own prison that I created for myself.... I did think it was going to make me happy though, but that idea is long gone. I'm happy now because I feel so much better. As I aproach my 8th month I am so happy with the results that I would do it all over again, that's how I know I'm happy. Congrats on your weight loss you look amazing![emoji258]

I have lost a good bit of hair, but right now it's still hanging on; I've been good about the Protein, but the Vitamins are a struggle. I've tried chewable and capsuls, and uugh. But it should start coming back. And don't say "only" about your loss! That's 196 sticks of butter! Think about how much that is.

      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.
