The 'old you' could not have been that happy, or you wouldn't have had the surgery.

However, any radical change is a shock to the system, so I'm sending you a virtual hug. xx

I don't notice a difference when I look in the mirror but I do notice a difference when I look at photos week over week.

I still see the old me when I look in the mirror. It takes a photo to make me see the new me.

Wow you are going through the weightloss depression bad. I hope there is someone IRL you can talk to you. You are the same you with some minor adjustments. Have you been doing to group or anything. I am so sorry you're feeling this way.

I didn’t recognize myself in a photo at work. After asking myself “who the hell is that?”, it clicked. The mind definitely takes longer to catch up...

I myself see it, and the numbers prove it, but I don't seem to understand why other people don't see it, must be some kind of psychological tick. And humans are very jealous creatures lol.

      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.
