Pants Too Tight..and Im Excited !!



Recommended Posts

Ok my little non scale victory.I've lost 57 lbs since my pre op diet 3/23/12 banded 4/6/12. Other than the boobies dropping I couldn't really tell in my clothes.yes some stuff fit a bit loose but I can still where most of my size 26 and 24 clothes. So today I decided to go into the Avenue a plus size store and I tried on size 22 jeans.They fit good.then I said " what the he'll ?!" and pulled a pair of size 20 from the rack.I thought at least I will see how close I get to buttoning them then I can gauge how far I have to go. Well they slipped on and zipped ! I had trouble with the button but managed to get it closed.I had a bit of a muffin top but was excited none the less.I actually use to wear my jeans that tight 15 years ago...this. Was very inspiring to me !! And it helped refocus me.Now I can actually see a size 18 and maybe even 16 .my mind can't comprehend single digit pants sizes yet but I feel good about where I've come.

Congrats! Go buy the pants. It is such a boost to wear cloths that fit. We don't realize how baggy our clothes get.

Enjoy your nsv, Celebrate with new pants!

      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.
