Awsome feeling isnt it?!?!?! I had to start wearing one a few months ago and I actually ran down the stairs and lifted my shirt to show my husband that I had been able to put a belt on. He looked at me like I was nuts ,but I was excited and on top the world the rest of the day. Anyhow, Congrats!!!! Keep up the good work! :rolleyes:

I have always lived in fear of belts! It never occurred to me through all this weight loss until I saw this thread that I might actually be brave enough to try one!

Heh heh, my belt is too big! I have to buy a smaller size. That's good news.

What does it feel like to buy jeans that fit. As a 56 year old man I have never felt that, I don't think. I have been big all my life and it is time to make a change. Thanks everyone.

I love wearing jeans, especially as they are now comfortable enough for me to wear around the house. No more slopping around in my track pants at home unless I'm working out. One day I may even be able to wear thin leg jeans!

      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.
