In the Thrift Store dressing room. I fit into size 8 dress pants. Not just one pair ... but several. I could not believe it.

The last (and only) time I wore a 8 was a brief moment MANY year ago when I was 17 (when I had just lost 63 pounds). I was a lot smaller then (126 pounds) compared to my ~143 pounds now, but I'm not going to even think about size differences over the years. I am just going to enjoy this.

The point is ... I BOUGHT SIZE 8 PANTS AND THEY FIT ME!!!! Who would have thunk it?

That is FAB! I know I felt great last week when I bought a top 2 sizes smaller than usual, so to fit in size 8 must be mindblowing! WELL DONE!

Congratulations! I know the feeling when you have to try on several pairs just to be sure there wasn't a mistake! The size difference thing is frustrating too. I had to weigh under 120 to wear size 10 years ago. I can wear some 10s now. Of course there were no size zero or 00, back in the day. But fret not 8 is an 8 is an 8 is an 8 today, and that’s where you are now. Hope you shed many more such tears!

      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.
