Recommended Posts

Ok... I was reading Linda's thread about Old navy- And her buying Jeans....

Well- I went shopping Yesterday and ended up in Kohl's

( gonna have to stay away from there!!)

I thought... hmmmmmm..... I need a pair of Jeans, wonder if I can fit any??

I picked up a pair of Gloria Vnderbuilts, picked up a 16 'cause they were Jeans and figured they wouldn't fit..... but am in a 14!!! The 16 was too big!! In JEANS!! I bought 2 pairs- only 17.97 each!!

No one here to take a pic of my butt....... LOL..... or I woulda shared a pic!!!:001_tongue:

You guys Crack me up!!

Thanks for all the wonderful words of encouragement! It really is a milestone, not wearing jeans in 15 years... it was an amazing accomplishment. But........

I think I'm gonna have to wash them in Hot Water and put them in the DRYER!!

Did I say put them in the dryer???

yep... abit big!!

So not gonna wear the other pair until I see what happens.

It's crazy- I'm still over 200 pounds, but in a 14........?????? I can't even remember the last time I was in a 14!!

I was wearing a very tight 16W (actually they didn't fit anymore) so really a 18 when I had my surgery. I was two weeks out and went shopping. Stupidly bought a size 14 and a 12 when I couldn't find any 16s.

Two months out from surgery, I decided to try the 14 on....took them to be hemmed. It took me 3 weeks to get them back because the place was never open... Wore the 14s on thanksgiving day and my daughter told me they were to big....now taking the 12s to be hemmed. Who would have thought that three months I would drop from a 18 to a 12.....

:w00t:

Yep- the sleeve is wonderful for surprises like that!! I've slowed down abit, but still can't believe it- the 14 Jeans are deffinitly tooo big. I just havn't made it shopping to try on a 12- it suxs at times to be 'between" sizes!

      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.
