size 14 and hopefully going down



Recommended Posts

Am able to comfortable wear my size 14 pants today, no button marks on my skin, no gasping for breath.

Am wearing a large light sweater and size 14 pants….life is good

I am down to 183…..24 more pounds to go to goal weight 159

It’s been a long sometimes difficult trip, had some setbacks but am generally very happy I got the band

No way would I ever go back to pre band eating

Feeling very good………even though I pulled a muscle in my side at the gym this weekend…no pain no gain…don’t want to miss the gym later this week……who I the heck am I ????

I knew I had finally made it when I was able to buy a size 14 jeans at Old Navy! I was in them for about 5 minutes. I don't even remember being in a 12, I think I jumped right to a 10. Do some advice: Don't buy too many size 14's! You're likely to be down sooner than you think!

WTG, btw!!! Congrats!

      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.
