You are looking good ausgirl, I can really see a difference. I havnt taken any recent photos yet so I cant compare but a few people have commented on the difference but I still struggle to see it.

i still feel like that nat. I'm pretty sure we were banded withing a couple of days of each other for memory...

But i defiinatly get what your saying. People i havnt seen in a while say i look good, but i just dont see it. I think its because i have a fair amount to lose, so it still seems like there is so far to go, plus i was this weight not that long ago (about 8 months ago) so it doesnt feel that different....

but thanks heaps for both of your kind words!

I am probably a bit paranoid because all the good comments have come from people that know I have had surgery and I always wonder if they are just saying that or are they genuine. So far nobody has commented that does not know so I guess Im waiting for the day that someone says I have lost weight and they have no idea of the surgery then I might believe it.

I do feel good in myself though I have more energy and feel the confidence growing with every kilo lost.

Had to but new smaller knickers last week that made me feel pretty good LOL

Haha! Believe it or not...me too!! I bought the brown one initially, and loved it so much i went back for the teal one about a week later!!!:thumbup:

And Nat, i know how you feel yet again. I was feeling like that, my best friends and their parent saw me after about 3 weeks (because they wanted to wait as long as possible, so they could see a more dramatic change :) ) and they all said i looked really good, but i thought they were just sorta saying it...but then i was at my old work the other day and o3 of the girls there said i was looking really good, and thats when i sorta realised because i hadnt told any of them so they wouldnt have known...

But again, thanks heaps for allyour kind words!!!!! :frown:

You look awesome Danni!! And I aint just saying that cause I know you've had the surgery. It can be plainly seen by anyone.

As for compliments, take them all as given. One thing I've learned about people, they don't like to give out compliments that much, so any given is a pretty big thing. Besides, you'll know if they are being insincere, its just a feeling.

Way to go, girl!

Wow Danni you can totally see a difference! You're doing great!

When you are living with yourself every day I think it is harder to see the weight coming off and I think the photo comparison is a great way to show yourself you are losing the weight!

*Note to self - take progress shots*

      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.
