Thanks for the picture montage Marimaru!

The two pics on the left are my heaviest (not pregnant) around 240+. Top is a few weeks after giving birth to my daughter in 1999, and the one below that with her pasty white little nakey butt is the same weight (!) without the baby excuse. My face is red from sitting there all fat in the heat, I feel as bad as I look...fat and miserable. Since then I had another child and ended up around 240 again. No surprise.

I did manage to lose about 20 pounds before banding, and the Front, Side, Back views are at 223, the night before leaving for Mexico.

On the right is So-Far. I was around 208 at that pic, see stats below for current weight but I look about the same at 194 as I do 208...well, maybe my big belly has gone down a little bit :)

So glad to have these updated!!!

First Pic - Here's me & my handsome man before my band (uh, and before he bleached his gorgeous hair.)

Second Pic - Us this weekend tearing up the Las Vegas Strip. I wish he'd go back to his natural Pepe le Peux hair like the stinker he is. VERA... I'm wearing my princess ring!

Okay...here are my before and "in progress" pictures. Can't find the ones my sister took of me in Mexico. When I do...I'll post them.

Pleeeeeaaassssssee....can somebody fix these so they are side by side or something close? Thank you so much!

The first is my top weight when I was still unhappily married at 330 pounds. My surgery date weight was 299. The 2nd is last year and I think I weighed about 318 at the time (notice I'm hiding behind my dear son). The last is me now 54 pounds down!!

      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.
