Congratulations.:ohmy: That must have felt great. I cannot wait to get in the same position, although I am with adagray. My shopping is easy now with limited choices--I now will have to "shop around" for real.

I've just reached the same point. And, I know this will sound weird, but I'm a little bummed. I really like Lane Bryant. I told a friend this and she told me to try 'The Limited' or 'Express' because they are owned by the same company as Lane Bryant.

It WAS a very weird feeling for me. I felt sad for some reason. Like saying goodbye to MY store and the sales staff. I always felt comfortable there and knew I could find something that fit.

I will always buy my bras there because they are the best(unless my boobs disappear too). But I went to Kohl's on my way home from work today and slid right into a size 12 for the first time in at least (10) years.

Of course we are learning the physical changes that our Band has on our bodies, my next challenge is the mental changes. I still think of myself as overweight - OPEN my eyes to the new me!

Congratulations!!!! I now fit in clothes that only have one X on the size and am pretty pleased about it, though I find I am sort of betwixt and between the womens sizes and the misses. That's okay- the situation will resolve itself as I do what I am supposed to do. :ohmy: I can hardly wait to never set foot in the womens size section of Macys again! No wistful nostalgia happening here.

      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.
