I seem to have misplaced



Recommended Posts

I've only just crossed over that weight threshold where real changes are happening to the body itself; I'm 73 lbs down and recently went on R&R (vacation). I was eager to go to my favorite lingerie boutique back home to see what new size I would wear; I adore this shop, it is in a tiny coastal town that still relies on the JC Penny catelog delivery, and gives the local women some femininity, quality, and glamour.

Well, after an hour of trying on bras, I was really frustrated. The bras I had were 40DDD and 42 DDD. Clearly the 42s were out, and maybe the 40s too. Also, the Triple Ds were definitely out, but was I in just a single D?!! Turns out - not that simple. =( All this emtpy surplus pudding-skin distorted the shape of my breasts, and my side-boob-fat is now floppy and refuses to tuck away quietly. =( =(

I ended up buying 38Ds in my favorite brand (Lunaire) but I think I should have bought 40 DDs because now it is an upsetting chore to tuck and tamp down all the pudding skin. =(

I am going on bra and panty spree this week I hope. I know this is crazy because I am still 90 lbs for goal. However at 5 feet 4 inches I weighed 267 pounds on surgery day. My bra was a 46 H cup. I have brought out the old bras of a 42 DDD and they are a little big so I am going to go get measured so I know what to get. I don't miss my girls but my husband is thinking they are getting a little small. He is very supportive but he is a boob man after all!!!! I am with you girls I will get new boobs when I reach 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.
