Today i was going to a bbq party and well my wardrob since losing is pretty bad so i decided i needed a new outfit. I went and picked out a pair of 16(since that is what i have been wearing) and i also got the same pants in a 14 ( i wanted to see how long before i could wear them) well I tried the 14s on first and they FIT great.... INcluding a pic of me before the party. I am still got a way to go but i am trudging that way.

Congratulations! You look amazing! And you're an inspiration to me! I have not done very well. My band slipped this past April, and I had to have surgery again. During the past four months since, I have gained approximately 25 pounds because I have slipped back into my bad habits, making poor food choices. Every day I struggle to stay on-track, but I am still thankful for my band because I am certain I would have gained back more without it. Keep working hard!

Hi,

You look great and congrats!.. It hit home as I had surgery about a week before you and am now in a 14 too (I think I'm allot shorter though at 5'1"). I would say most of mine has been in the last 6 months as I didn't get restriction until then. All through winter I wore my old clothing as they got looser but I didn't think loose enough to get new clothing. In summer I decided to try some new clothing but didn't think the 14 would fit but they do. I feel like my sizes are more like 20lb between instead of 10-15 for others. I don't weigh myself often as always scared to get depressed and I'm happy if I can loose .5-1lb a week. I'm so working it and feel like the band is really helping now but have to make good decisions which are not always so easy or food not available. I find it amazing how some foods I can eat two bites and be so done and others I feel like I can eat quite a bit of. Good job and I'm right there with you .. fighting the battle but for once I think I have a tool that can really help me and I think it's possible.

      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.
