this is a great thread, i hate always thinking about the scale. i bought 2 pairs of 20s while i was a 26. i hope to be in them this month, im in a 22 now and they are getting a bit baggy. i can put the 20s on but can't button/zip. im looking forward to getting in them.

I do the same thing - up until this point I always had a "smaller" size to work to get into - I'm now in my 12's (started in a 22/24) and just the other day bought a pair of 10's that i can get on but would never wear out in public - they are my new goal - I have to say the look so little :rolleyes2: :thumbup: :lol: After that I'll move on to an 8 for my goal .. :bored:

I know what you are saying about them looking small, I was in a 24 and now I'm in a 10 and when I do laundry I pull them out of the wash and have to take a double take to make sure they are mine and I always think to myself wow they're little. Maybe to someone else they would look big but I think they just look so small.

I just finally got into the 10s today...I have tried them on way too many times and they just gave me a huge muffin top...I have a fat waist, the hips are never an issue. Anyway I was feeling pretty good today and thought I'd disappoint myself one more time by trying them on and...WOW they fit!

I dont believe I could just go shopping and randomly buy size 10s though. These are a 10 short Levis and I have to wonder if they run big...whatever, I'm happy!

If anyone out there hasnt seen Lellow's pix with the jeans each laid on top of the other...go to her page and look. I did one of my own for my home screensaver!!

I have the same issue with the wide waist so I buy Lowrise and midrise, the midrise fit best and the don't button right on the waist so no muffin top. Next time your in the store just try a pair on and see what you think. I have to wear a belt for the first time in my life, it's really weird.

Clothes are a huge motivator for me, too--but I can't buy in advance, because I'm never quite sure what areas are going to shrink next!

      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.
