Unfortunately I had a recent birthday - that required a re-newed drivers license.

I thought the old/new version of me was worth sharing... old was in 2002, I had wls in 2004, new is 2006

I am almost one month post op. My "breaking point" was pictures of me at my family reunion this past July 2006. I decided to look at them today and I was shocked! I guess because this is more gradual to me I had no idea the difference. I am down 25 pounds total including pre-op diet. Check this out.....

This first picture is from July 30, 2006 the second picture was this past Wednesday.

Well I've finally gotten the nerve to post my pictures. The pictures were taken one year apart. In the first picture I was 247 and I am currently at 170.

I thought I should update my pics. The first ones were 2 days before surgery and the second ones 6mths down the road and 92lbs down. I wore the same clothes but they dont do me justice...the top hangs now and the back of the pants dont touch my legs...new clothes next time around me thinks...

Hey guys,

My first before and after picture posting. The one on the left is me tonight, and the right is me about 4 years ago (my ID photo), and I wasn't even at my highest. Probably only maybe 250-260 there.. this is a good comparison picture for me, cause I don't even really believe I looked like that, EVER!

I can't say before and after because I'm not done losing yet so these are my before and during pictures. Pardon the first pic as that was taken at 4am and the photographer didn't check to see if I blinked hahaha. Looks like I'm on the drugs to put you under just before surgery hahaha.

277_227_212 more shrinking to go.

      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.
