I've got my first!

After a mirror situation assessment, I'm starting to realize my eyes aren't as small as I thought - they are just sinking in fat. :) Starting to emerge...

Buying regular size clothes that did not come from a plus size store. It really showed me how far I have come already! Great feeling!

Well my journey started in January 2011 I weighed 274 pounds at the time of my surgery I am currently 53 by July 2011 I had already lost 100 pounds and then by the end of 2011 I actually met my goal weight which was originally 140 but then six months later I finally reached 132.5 the journey hasn't been as easy as I thought I do believe they need to do a little bit more in-depth conversations regarding the mental health portion of the surgery and how it affects your entire you know mental and physical status I believe it that probably would've helped a little bit however I mean a lot of life changes within a short period of time after surgery so anyway as of today 2015 I'm fabulous I'm add a great weight my body is healthy as much as it can be I'm happy I don't really understand the whole single thing and being thin thing however I'm learning it was the best decision I've ever made even though it's been kind of traumatic to recover.

Here's a first for me! I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night and was shocked to feel cold Water on my toosh!! Someone left the seat up, and my booty went in! Lol I should have been pissed, which I was at first, until I realized my butt had been too big for far too long; that hadn't happened since I was a little girl!! Lmbo!????

I bought size 14 pants today! I haven't been below a 16 for over 15 years. Started at a 20-22W in June. I thought the size was wrong so I tried other 14s on and they fit too!

Wonderful nsv here. I love to hear about them.I agree with roux2011, it is definitely a mental trip. I am still a for addict. One of my nsv is getting into a size 14\16 pajama shorts. That's crazy. Sometimes I see body and can't believe it. I still have a few pounds to lose but I am happy with my progress thus far.

I have two. 1. Yesterday, I took my jeans off -- without unzipping or unbuttoning them! I just slipped them right off!

2. Today, I didn't have any clean clothes for work. I saw a dress hanging in a dry cleaning bag that I had cleaned a long time ago so I could sell it at a consignment shop because I figured I'd never fit into it again. Lo and behold, I tried it on and it fit! It's a size 12!!!! The last clothing I bought was 2X!

I was in Chico's today looking at the clearance racks. The sales lady came over to me and said "You're at the wrong end. You're probably a 0 or a 1! (their sizes are different - I think a 0 is like a 4/6). Didn't buy anything there, but I did buy a size 6 skirt and a size small sweater at Marshals. Gotta say, shopping is surreal.

      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.
