I don't know how someone screwed up the inches measurement in your pants, but I really really wish that womens clothing was sized that way. Yes, women would have to look at how many inches their waist was every time they wanted to buy a pair, but you could TELL someone what SIZE you are, and they could buy you a pair of pants in that size and have some reasonable expectation that they would fit!

I have 2 pairs of 16's that I bought of the SAME BRAND of jeans, just a different cut. One fit, and the other I found out when I got home it was too small. Fortunately, I have resized myself to fit in them, and now thing that MAYBE if I went to the store I might find a pair of 14's that fit, but even if that's true, there are still 18's and 20's that "fit" and aren't to big. *SOB*

Bras are no better.

because there is some rule that if you are fat you must wear loud flower prints, neon colors, shirts with embroidered teddy bears holding balloons and wearing sailor hats, and moomoos in the ugliest 70's rayon designs ever made. the normals figure if they dress us bad we will get sick of being fat and lose the weight.

*Emphatically nodding in agreement*

And at least rayon is humane, what is that scratchy synthetic that they make into summer clothes? You know, the pieces with exposed elastic in the waist...

Maybe it is to make us easier to spot? Many a time I've been told "oh sorry didn't see you there".

I'm sorry, a 6' 4" tall man with 100 pounds of excess body fat is SO hard to spot, I'll just go paint myself neon green to make life easier for you. Perhaps some kind of audible warning "AWOOOGA FAT BASTARD APPROACHING... AWOOOGA NORMS BEWARE".

I'm blind (legally) and I make the effort to spot even the smaller humans whenever possible. Maybe I'll just tread on the skinny bastards and when they complain, suggest they go wear a large flower print moomoo.

The worm (or in my case, elephant seal) has turned!! Muahahahahahaaaaar!!

I would like to take this opportunity to mention in reference to Wal-Mart, which was referenced earlier in this thread:

Boycott Walmart!

For so, so, so many reasons. Walmart sucks.

      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.
