16 - my new favorite numbers



Recommended Posts

Its been about 9 weeks since my surgery and am down a good bit of weight and am in a size 16 jean! now - i want to move much smaller than 16, but this is like a huge mental achievement for me. not to see the letter W behind a size, or even an 18 or 20 is just so awesome. at my very largest a few years ago, I got as big as a 28, but since my surgery have dropped from a 22/24 to a 16. SO awesome.

thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Awesome! I was a 24 before surgery and have dropped one size. I was banded Jan 4. I can't wait to get to size 16!

      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.
