Yesterday I got tired of my super baggy pants...and since I wasn't sure of what size to get I went to Walmart (thought since sizes change so fast I don't want to spend a fortune on clothes). I was so surprised that the size 18W slid right on--no "sucking" in or dancing around to get them zipped...I was amazed because pre-banding I was wearing a size 28W...never thought I would be able to wear a smaller size again. I tried to explain this feat to my husband but he just didn't get it. I am excited and needed to share my excitement with people who will understand and join me in this simple celebration!!!

I just had my 5 month check up yesterday and I'm down 50 lbs now. I've gone from a 24 to an 18 pants. My surgery was May 11th and I'm tickled pink. I think I'm pretty close to being in the green zone and very excited. Just wanted to brag about my band!! Your doing great!!! And keep it up!!!

WTG--I went to Walmart last week and tried on new clothes, M-L shirt and 18 pants. Originally size 24. My husband was just as excited as I was. His comment, I saw it all along, keep up the good work he said.

the best I got out my hubby was " wow, you look like a bean pole". I took that as a compliment from he of few words... congrats!!

I still get a kick when I look at a size 10 and think there is no way that is going over my butt and they slide right up and no muffin top.... lol

Congratulations girl! What an accomplisthment! I would be shouting from the rooftops.

I have lost 47 lbs so far and my clothes are a little baggy, but I don't think I'm down any significant sizes. I can still fit into my 26W and 24W clothes. I know I'm doing what I should and weight is coming off, but I love hearing these stories of you ladies having fun shopping. I WILL get there.

Keep up the good work to all of you on your journey! We got this!

Next time you are in a clothing store try on a smaller size just for the heck of it. You might be suprised! When I first started loosing weight and my clothes got loose I kept thinking that my 20W still fit untill my mom pushed me into trying on smaller sizes. Wow I was down to a 16 without realizing it. So, try what harm is there in that?

      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.
