Happy And Sad At The Same Time



Recommended Posts

trying on some of my winter sweaters from last season and none of them fit. Yes you say that's a great thing but they are Coldwater Creek and expensive sweaters and still look new and therefore I'm sad, I like them! sigh

Been there done that. I had a tough time parting with some things, but I eventually gave in. I sure don't want to fit into them again. Sell them or donate them, whatever makes you feel best and go shopping girl!

What size are they? Would love to look at them to see if I would be interested in purchasing a few as I just started my journey... And you get money for new ones in a smaller size :)

Totally understand, been there done that 2 winters in a row. Dropping from a size 24 to a size 3 you lose a lot of favorite cloths but shopping is so much fun.

This is exactly why I come on this site every morning before work. Things said are very encouraging and I have yet to not find a section that answers any questions that have come up along the way of my journey. When I gained the 80 pounds plus I refused to buy expensive clothes because I knew some day I would get back down to my 10-12 range. Most of the clothes I bought a Walmart were worn out and the ones that were not when I got down in size I donated to the battered womens shelter in town. I have some nice clothes now and that is encouragement enough to stay where I am in size but occasionally I will spot something just as nice at K-mart that I have to have. I get bored with my clothes and need to start new so I always have made it a reason for not buying too expensive clothes except for winter coats. You guys are awesome and I wish I had known you when I started this journey 4 years ago and wore my baggy pants in my transition from size 24 to 10-12. Good luck to all of you lovely ladies.

      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.
