FUN QUESTION FOR SLEEVES



Recommended Posts

I want to know did anyone save their favorite pair of pants/shorts from before you lost your weight just to put on and SEE THE RESULTS? I maybe crazy but I want to save my favorite pair of capris that I wear all the time. EVERYTHING else will be GONE forever!!! LOL That way IF I have a bad day I can put them on and SEE THE RESULTS. I'm a visual person so I want to SEE RESULTS! I can't wait!!

I saved an old pair of my fat slacks because I wanted to have this picture for the sake of being able to say I could this:

Yep, that's me standing in one pant leg of my old pants ! ! ! I've since donated all my old clothes to the woman's shelter and Goodwill.

Hey,

Hahahaaa... Tiff, that made me giggle... love it!!

I too have saved two pairs of trousers ... one pair of 3/4 jeans that used to be snug and a pair of black linen work trousers... had to save these two items!! I too am a visual person and it does help me get through the harder times!

Oh I wish I had done this! At my largest ever I had a pair of Navy Blue slacks - size 28W. They were even getting a bit tight on me even. It would have been nice to have them around for a little morale boost when the scale isn't cooperating. :-) I sugges this for anyone!

Someday though I want to go into a store and bring a size 28W into the fitting room and see how it fits on me now. That would serve the same purpose I guess, since my pants are long gone.

I sure did ... What a pick-me-up when I start obsessing about the "non perfect" areas I still have. :D

I am wearing a size 8 now, and I just recently tried on the one pair of size 40x32 pair of jeans that I kept!! They are HUGE, they swallow me!! I am so glad I kept a pair. I also kept a size 18 dress!! It is something to actually see the extreme progress, the extreme change!!!

No, my mother (who's the same size I was before the surgery) already got dibs on all my fat clothes....lol. Plus all I really wore at my biggest were yoga pants/capris and skirts with stretchy waistbands! I can still wear most of these 40 lbs down, although I think 10 lbs from now, they'll be way too loose.

I am inspired by Tiffykins, she had her favorite blouse from before turned into an adorable little dress after. I have a gauze cotton tunic from Eddie Bauer in like a 3X that I'm going to have tailored when I hit goal.

      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.
