This is from my before picture taken about 3 weeks ago that I haven't really looked at until now.

I just have one question.... when did my belly button turn into an ass?

Angie, you are a blast! That made my day. Seriously - I was grouchy today about this whole eating cottage cheese and Soup crap (will it ever end!) and I saw your post and laughed so hard I peed my pants!

I took some before pictures, but wasn't brave enough to take one of my belly button - now, I'm seriously tempted!

Could be worse... your spouse could be rubbing her hands all over your shaven stomach, chanting "Buddha... Buddha... I pray to thee."

Well that was a full body bra and underwear shot, I just cropped it down to there. That was bad enough, NO ONE needs to see the full monte. :cursing:

My husband keeps bugging me to do a sports bra and shorts "before" picture, but I'm scared!

But looking through the Before & After picture section of the forum - there are certainly those out there who are showing us the full monte! :cursing: Wow. I appreciate their bravery!

I wanted my before pictures to really show how FAT I am. Most people you can't tell because it's only a headshot (which is all the pictures I had of me, too!). I want DRAMATIC before/after shots. :cursing:

OMG you made my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.:) It is wonderful to have such a fabulous sense of humor and be willing to share with us. I think you made a lot of people's day.

It will great when you can compare the new to the old.

Hehe, you could consider doing two sets of before and afters? I am doing mine that way. I have one set in form fitting exercise type clothes and the other in my skivvies that will be just for me and DF's eyes only. :)

it's good to have a sense of humor, the good thing is that this will not be how your body will look like in a few months, so it's not you, it's the fat version of you.

I have a mental idea, I like to think that I live in a future where I am thin, I'm just wearing a fat suit and I'll be taking it off soon.

      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.
