I had to share with people that would understand. i haven't had surgery as yet, it is scheduled for next week, but I had such a wonderful thing happen today. We had to order field day t-shirts that will be used as the shirts we wear for convocation next year. i bought the size that I have been wearing, a 2x, as well as a large for next year. I, for giggles and grins, tried on the large. IT FIT!!! It was a little tight around the tummy area, but it fit. I would wear it for field day this year if I was a little more comfy with the tummy area and if it weren't for the fact I have surgery scheduled for that day. I now know it will fit in August comfortably. YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited because it is the first time in a large since my son was born 11 years ago. These shirts are also known to run small and shrink after washing. I held up the 2X and it looked like a nightgown. I told hubby all my spirit shirts for work are now nightgowns or lounge around the house shirts. I feel like I swim in them.

I am also a teacher and we had our JDS walk today. I purposely took a large (instead of an XXL) and said "I wont need a big one in a few months!"

Who's doing your surgery?

Thanks so much!

I am having the surgery through the V.A. Being listed as disabled, I get all my medical free. I found out they do WLS and started the process in October. It is finally happening on Thursday and can't wait!!! I want to go back to school in the Fall and be a totally different person. i know I will be. I think, or at least hope that I will have changes and have to wear dresses the last week that I go back to school after the surgery. I get to end the year with one week of work post surgery. Timing is great! lol Oh and I voted for you already. Got to do it again. i wish you luck with the contest!

      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.
