I'm going to put this here, because everyone I've told today is like 'yea.. that's good'. You know the 'we're tired of hearing about this stuff' kind of reaction. LOL!!

Well, went shopping this weekend and I'm in the regular woman's section! YES!! no more Woman's sizes or W's behind the number :D I wanted to go all out, but restricted myself to three pairs of pants and 4 shirts (only one was an XL!!) It's been since I was in the Air Force 20 years ago that I was able to do that.. I'm just so freaking excited!!

Awsome! Fitting in too smaller clothes is just the best feeling. I think it's even better, or at least as good as, seeing the scale move. Keep up the good work!

It's a good feeling, isn't it? I went garage saling with my neighbor this weekend. She showed me a shirt she thought I would like. I looked at it and said it's a extra large. She said, it won't be too big, it's stretchy. As I set it back down I said "I don't care....I am NOT buying anything with an X on the label!"

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited for you :D I just had my first experience like that this week. I went through my closet and got rid of all of the way too big clothes, and I went out and bought two shirts that are three sizes smaller than what I wore a year ago. It felt SO GREAT.

I hope you have many more of these experiences!!

Just wanted to say a quick congrats!

I was only banded on 6/17/11, but have already lost enough weight to fit into some tops I previously had been unable to squeeze into. I was smart enough to save my smaller sizes and will be "shopping" through my closet for the next few months

I cannot wait until I save some money and go shopping for my 2012 New Year's Eve dress! For so long now, I have just worn whatever fit and looked half-way decent. No more of that! I will be buying that little black dress - and not in a huge size either!!!

Another fun thing I've noticed is that now when I go shopping, I stop in the clothing department and look at things just for fun, and in sections I've never dared look before! And then the best part, is I say, "Well, I'd better not buy that now, because in a few months, it will just be way too big for me." Heh heh heh!

I had a co-worker come up to me yesterday and ask to take my picture. I just laughed and asked her why in the world she wanted to take a picture. I honestly was so shocked by her answer. She said she wanted to take a picture of me and give it to her doctor to show him what she wants to look like!!!! So freaking amazing!

I was floored by her answer but boy did that feel good!

      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?

      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.
