I'm back into size 28 jeans!! It was stretch pants for a while there! It might not sound like much, but when you're a heavyweight, it takes about 20 lbs to go down a size.

Way to go, Donna! Hopefully the next size will go even faster. I am only down 1 size in about 40 lbs., so I know what you mean it seems to take forever when you're bigger.

I'm a heavyweight too so I get how awesome this feels, yay! For my body it is nearly 40 pounds between sizes, when I go from a 24 to an 18, a mere 4 sizes smaller, I will have lost over 100 pounds.:001_huh:

Ditto. I have lost 65 lbs since April (sleeved 8/12) I started out a 32, and am now hovering between 28 and 30 depending on the cut. Seems to take forever at the higher weights. But, for the first time in my life I am hopeful that this will help me get to goal and stay there.

      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.
