75#'s gone forever

I wanted to share this awesome news with all my month mates! I posted these pics elsewhere but wanted to share them here for you all. The changes have been amazing and I can't say I've made any better decision ever besides to marry my husband. This is awfully comparable though.

15 pounds will give me a 5 pound buffer between me and overweight. I think I will be happy there. I'm happy with my size right now. If I were to stop here I would be okay with it. Not happy but okay. I want to be "healthy" weight though. That means a lot to me. I want to say I'm healthy. I want to go to the doc and have them not say "You could use to lose a few pounds."

25 will be the most I lose. I couldn't lose more than that and feel good about myself. At least that's what I say now. I still want to have a bit of my chest left....and it's going left and right.

But thanks for the complements. I do appreciate them.

Here are the instructions on how I do pictures.

I open my picture using any editing program and crop it to whatever size I want it. If it is a high resolution pic I then have to "shrink" it by resizing it to a size that will post here. It has to be under 1 mb to post here. Don't resize it too small though because it's easy to go down and hard to go back up.

Once it is the size I want it I save it to my desktop so it is easy to find. I open a new message or reply, not a quick reply, and use the paper clip to attach each one. Sometimes I have to do a little more fiddling because I have made them too big still.

I don't use an online program to post my pics to. I just upload from my computer. Once they are uploaded I can do whatever I want with MY pics on MY machine. If they are on photobucket or something then if you move them the link doesn't work any longer.

I hope that makes sense. I also like the thumbnails because I don't have to shrink them a really tiny size.

      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.
