... a frozen pizza, which used to be a snack for you, can last a whole week in the fridge.

Ain't that the truth!

And for some of my own

  • You don't need to push the car seat all the way back to get in and out of your car.
  • You don't rush to the bedroom to change into sweats after work, normal clothes are comfortable
  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"
  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual
  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.
  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting
  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

You do a double take when seeing yourself in the mirror

Someone you haven't seen in a while doesn't recognize you until you speak

You make frequent trips to the salvation army or goodwill as you know you'll only be in this size for a short period of time

You get weird looks from waiters/waitresses not because you're struggling to fit in the booth but because you tell them you don't need/want a drink with your meal

You eat to live and no longer live to eat

You get invited to something called "The Chocoholic Buffet," and after giving it some thought, you realize you aren't that interested.

:blink:

  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"

Hahahahaha

  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual

I just made my boss order new belts :)

  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.

Hand, thigh, clavicle bones,,, I mean who the heck Knew we had them?

  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting

ahh, no door here

  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

I love all of these!!!!

And yup to the "do you want fries with that?" Nope. Anything to drink "nope". Always gets a weird look!

Or in a restaurant when I say that I am ordering nothing... that alwasy gets a weird look too! Why order a meal when I can only eat a few bites... I just nibble off my family's plates and am fine :)

Oh and going through a clothing size in a month. That is WEIRD TO ME!!! But awesome :)

      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.
