Lookin' GOOD, Kid!!

My, you are YOUNG!!

You really look great... how far to goal??

Phyl- I posted a reply 2 days ago but I have no idea where it went?! I have another 57 lbs to go. I can not imagine what I will look like then!! I was 20 lbs heavier than my goal 7 years ago and I wore a size 6-7. I don't know that that will be the case this time. I can only hope!!!

Thank Jackie - but the chin is up cua you know how it goes the chin was always up due to the double chin issues now it's turkey neck and habit :)

You say you have 57 more lbs to go - I dont see 57 maybe 30-40 - but I wont' deter you from your goal - I was talking to my trainer and he thinks 150 would be a good number for me - he said i am big boned - that i have big hands and feet - yep 9 or 10.. He is doing a program about weight issues and women - it's not the # on the scale - it's how you look and feel - he said I would be to skinny at 120 or 130 - LOVE MY TRAINER ME TOO SKINNY - I have never been to skinny - I am not changing my ticker cuz we will see what 160 looks like first..

I totally get the holding the head up more to hide the chin. I have done that for so long I still do it. This last time I took pics I tried to mentally put my chin down but when they were taken I noticed that the chin is still noticable. :):lol:

I don't know about the 57 lbs either. Like I said I was 20lbs more than what my goal was before and some people commented that I was 'too skinny'. My mom was having a fit thinking I was going to opposite and becomming anorexic. The thing is even if I lost the 57 lbs I would still be on the high end of my BMI. I don't know. My family doc thinks 57 will be way to much but I will see how I feel and look as I go. We are our own worst critics so I may have to post after another 20-30 lbs and see what you all think.

I wasn't sure what made me want to cry more...the new BEFORE pics or my GORGEOUS new pics. I decided if there were going to be tears, they were going to be tears of joy. Look at my face...I don't even look the same to me! I am normally not one to toot my own horn, but DAMN I am looking good! Can't wait for the Tummy Tuck, so that I feel this good about my WHOLE self.

9 Mos Post-Op as of yesterday, 75 lb. down. Not the best picture in the world, but okay. Pants too big, baggy, bulky sweater & turtle neck because it was so COLD outside!! Not a very complimentary photo, but I think I see a difference from 6

      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.
