No more fat and tall section for me!!!



Recommended Posts

I have some high profile meetings coming up this week, so I went shopping to pick up the proper attire. I found a dress shirt that I really liked, but it was marked as a slim cut. I tried on anyhow and it fit! I have shopped the big and tall section all my life, and tonight I bought clothes marked SLIM!!!

When I started the journey a little over a month ago I was wearing 44 elastic waist band pants that had no stretch left in them, I bought size 38 tonight, and dress shirts with a size 18 neck. Size 18, I do not remember ever being able to wear a shirt that small, and there was plenty of room in the collar.

Oh and guys, the rumor is right, the less fat you have, the longer is it is. :D

Terry what a great feeling for you. I am the opposite of you.. I am very short and fat.. they don't make clothes that are both petite and xxl... so this week due to a 25 lb loss I could actually buy a petite , large.. I am looking forward to getting down to petite size small....

good for you.

      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.
