Took A Chance.....



Recommended Posts

Hi all... I have been on lately, but for some reason, my computer is playing evil with me and will not let me sign on this site, so in short, I am reading everyone's posts, I just cannot respond!

Anyway.... I am stopping home to change to head to a friends house for the night, finish the festivites for the Labor Day weekend, tired and sweaty, needed a quick shower and change. Now for clothes... I only had so many clean clothes that fit. I pick up a pair of jean shorts, size 20. Nope, not gonna happen. But I decide to try anyway and I will just wallow in my misery about it later.

Low and behold, they fit!!! Well, they got on anyway!! They are a bit tight right now, but I cannot believe it. My scale does not always show this. I am dumbfounded! I just had to run here and tell everyone.

I am now off to my friends house and I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends!

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie, I am also a Stephanie and had the same experience.

I had bought a variety of pant sizes from a clearance sale locally (GREAT discount rate) and one day two months ago I wanted to show my honey how close I was to being able to fit into the 16's (I had never tried them on prior to this experience). I put them on and said, "see, I can even pull them up!" I then buttoned and zipped them and stood dumbfounded for a minute before I started jumping up and down yelling "they fit! these are size 16's! They fit!" etc etc like a broken record.

Sometimes we are so focused on a number that we forget to see the actual changes happening. I love this journey and it has taught me to appreciate so much more.

That's some great news!! Just this Sunday we had an early Labor day party at our house and when I went to get dressed I realized I didn't have any clean capris. I was like...crap.....then I thought about my old ones pushed way back in the drawer so I pulled them out. To my surprise they fit!!! Zipped, comfortable fit!!! Lol. I even had two people tell me they looked a little baggy on me. Baggy......sure.....I'll take that any day!!!! :)

      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.
