Undergarments and False Advertising


MeganA

Recommended Posts

I've started to get really self concious about my body- more so now than when I was at my heaviest. I get lots of attention from men now, and I can't help but think- "Don't they know I'm still fat?". I feel like my sucker-inner undergarments are false advertising. I had a dream last night that I took my clothes off and all my skin rolled out of my undergarments like a red carpet. Do you think I have some body issues? :-) I'm already thinking about plastic surgery but couldn't afford it unless insurance pays. I'm going to save up my vacation time from work just in case. I never anticipated this when I dreamt of weight loss and how great it would be! Not that I would take it back for millions of dollars. But it's all new to me, this attention from men. I'm just not sure what to do with all of it anymore. Maybe I should stay home and eat some.....WAIT! NO WAY. I guess I have to just keep moving forward and I'll handle what comes my way the best I can.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

Megan, honey, I think all under garments are all about false adversting! (well, maybe not panties, but the rest, yes!)

think about the different styles of corsets women used to be required to squash into. Do you think the waspwaists of the 1800 were not false advertising? How about the bullet bras of the 1950's? Hell, bras in general are false adversting.

      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.
