Jeez, Steph, you look great! Put your head on that fairy, and that could be your body!!!

Haha...I wish. LOL I sent some face pics to a friend of mine that was making an avatar for me for Myspace. She said I was getting "tiny." LOL I don't feel tiny when I have 42 more pounds to go. Thanks for the compliment. :Dancing_sorry:

You look fantastic Steph! How tall are you?

Thanks, Sades. I'm 5'7".

Yeah Steph, you do look awesome!! You're motivating me to get my butt in gear. I should have lost more by now. You'll get the rest off before you know it!

No wonder you're so much slimmer than me at 188 lbs. I'm just under 5'2" and 185 lbs. I'll post some pics soon.

Steph, Wow! Those are fantastic pictures... I am so happy for you, you have no idea! Congratulations, and if you are still "in a mood", get out of it quick. With pictures like that, they should be peeling you off the ceiling.

Yes...we need pics! :thumbup:

LOL...the mood may have had something to do with my #3 in my original post. I'm seeing the creepy side of that... So yes, I get the good flirting, now...but I also have to take with that the skeevy guys that think I'm some kind of object. :thumbup:

Thanks for the compliment. :smile: I do FEEL a whole lot better, now. I think I just get frustrated sometimes that I still have so far to go.

Wow! One year ago today I had surgery. What an amazing journey. I've lost 59 pounds since surgery and 71 total. I can't believe I've lost this much and I am only 16 pounds from my 1st big goal of 135 pounds. I will decide from there how much more to lose.

Bandpal - Wow! The pictures are really great. You are a different person.

Steph - You look amazing.

I need to take some more body shots.

Congrats to everyone on a wonderful year!

Congratulations, Jill. I know that those 16 pounds are not long for this world. Thanks for the compliments. I guess I am a different person, kind of...

Oh wow, undy pics!

Awesome man, lol, that takes more courage than I have, but I'm not nearly as skinny as you either.

That's my new goal bandpal. When I am comfortable enough to post a picture of my self, on the internet, without a shirt - I've reached my goal.

You look great though man, absolutely excellent. So have you gone to the fair yet? An amusement park? I can remember not wanting to take a date to the fair for fear of not making a weight limit or size limit on a ride. You should go to an amusement park and ride a roller coaster ; ).

Thank you, Scarecrow - The real breakthrough was the "before" pics - that, for me was a dramatic way of saying, "this is where I am at, I need help and I'm going to do something about it." The "after" pics were just a follow- through; a comparison has to be legitimite, right?

No fairs out where I am but I wouldn't mind horseback riding, something which my feelings about the ethical treatment of animals would have prevented, oh, about 115 pounds ago...

LOL

Poor horses. The mayor of the city I live in has commercials with him riding around on a horse, and he's a 350-400lbs guy. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, but when I saw the commercial I learned they found him the worlds largest horse to ride on or something. It was MASSIVE.

I too would like to ride a normal size horse.

I just can't believe that it has been one year. Wow!! What major changes in my life. I wore a 22/24 now I'm a 12/14. My blood pressure is normal. My surgar level is normal. I still have knee problems, but I figure I would be in worse shape if not. There are times when I don't even recogize pictures of myself.

You all remember my DH and DS had surgery too. We have about 350 lbs as a family.

The first picture was taken today. The second & third pictures were taken the day before my surgery.

Wow, Bandpal! What a major difference. You look so completely different. LOL - you also have more guts than I do. I have the undie pics, but I don't dare post them on here.

Steph - You look amazing.

Thanks. You're looking pretty awesome yourself! Your pic in avatar, you look like you've always been a skinny little thing.

Steph you look fantastic!!!! Congrats.

Thank you. :)

      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.
