So I have a job interview coming up and i have nothing to wear, I only own a couple pairs of jeans that fit so i went shopping today for a pair of pants.. dredding every minute of it cause pants - usually shopping for jeans- is very hard for me.

I went and tried on some kahkie pants - a size 22, too big,, a 20 too big,,i thought no way 18s will be too small and ill be in the in between spot that sucks..low and behold i was able to wear an18 that fit perfect... i was thrilled.

so the scale isnt moving right now and i have been slacking and have not been to the gym in three weeks -- but i saw progress in the pants. The shirt was a 16 too :thumbup:

The only thing that could make this any better is if the interview was for a job in Florida!:thumbup:

I'll second that! (Are you in the boil Water area of Mass? Well, wherever you are, Florida is better. Haha! We are actually leaving Florida for a month. I know that by the time I return, I will really miss it a lot.) Hope that you get your job, and I know that the new pants will look great and give you much confidence! Best of luck on your interview. :thumbup:

Congratulations! I had that experience not too long ago also size 22 down to an 18. I broke down in the dressing room. It is a fabulous feeling. Way to go!

      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.
