Before and During



Recommended Posts

I thought it might be fun to have a thread to Celebrate the process by sharing how far we have already come, regardless of where we are in the journey.

My before and during photos are 4 months apart, from right before pre-op diet to now. About 50-ish pounds to goal.

I have spent a lifetime avoiding cameras and have crafted principled opposition to personal pictures of any public sort. For me, this has not changed.

Of course, this site is about weight and weight loss. Pictures are a natural part of measuring and sharing our success. WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF OUR SUCCESS. The dramatic outward changes that only pictures can reveal... well, as the saying goes:

"A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS."

For many people sharing before and after (or during!) pictures is a rite of passage.

Congratulations on your success!

As I know everyone is interested in my opinions on pictures and can't live without knowing... well tough... I'm not telling!

I don't want this to sound weird or stalkerish, but you are looking good. Keep it up.

Good luck,

Tek

      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.
