I am PETITE!!!!!! woo hoo



Recommended Posts

Have a big night at my job and I have to dress up. I shopped at Lane Bryant a while back and was in the 16W range. This time I went to Talbots where I always always for years and years and years wear WOMEN's Petite - ALWAYS. I was getting up to 18/20WP before surgery which was a lot of fabric.

But just looking at even the 14WP I was like, ummmm, no this won't work they are so big and kinda loose. I mean if it was in my closet I could wear it, but it wasn't flattering.

So I had to venture back out to the floor and go into the Petite Dept - the REGULAR Petite Dept, that is, and found some 14P and 16P that fit like a glove, of course buying as snug as possible.

It was fun.

I haven't been losing a lot of weight lately. But it is okay, I'm still shrinking evidently. I think my body is really re-adjusting b/c I am definitely getting smaller. And I have started swimming pretty regular.

Congrats! That is such a great feeling! I have a large range of sizes in my closet and I have decided to not go down to the next size until my current size is falling off of me so that I can enjoy that feeling of wearing the next size down comfortably. I am sure we are all tired of squeezing into a size just because!

I really have not noticed a big change since losing the first 16 pounds but I think my body may be adjusting to the weight loss as you stated above so I am just going to keep doing my post-op diet as directed and be patient.

Yeah! Have fun at your event, I am sure you will look stunning!!! Confidence sure does complete the new wardrobe, doesn't it!

Congratulations on graduating out of the WP sizes and into the P's. How cool is that! I hope you're really proud of yourself because you're doing an awesome job.

      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.
