WOW! I'm wearing a size 6



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I love reading the postive post about fitting into goal jeans etc. I started this journey trying to get healthy and off of all my medications in the back of my mind saying wearing a size 10 would be great also. Now here I am off my blood pressure meds., no more diabetes, and no sleep apena it's only been six months...this was exciting. But when I went to the store to buy a pair of jeans (still wearing my size 12) I was in shock when the size 10 was too big, my loving husband gave my a size 6 and said you've worked hard I know this is your size (tear...he's so supportive) and guess what he was right the size 6 jeans fit so I bought them. We later went to 4 different stores and I tried on their size 6 pants and jeans they fit I know crazy but it's taking my mind a long time to catch up to the new me. So to all the future sleevers out there this is truly the best thing you could do for yourself do not let anyone talk you out of having this surgery.

It took me 2 years and 2 denials to finally get me sleeve I'm loving the end results.

Thanks and Take Care

Thank you so much for posting your success! You are of great encouragement! When I think of successes like yours, I can't wait for surgery but when I think of what will actually be done to my stomach and how major it is...I want to run the other direction. This forum serves a lot of purposes but I think one of the biggest, is the encouragement to move forward. Thanks and Congrats!!!!

Penpen,

You can do it, I had two major surgeries before my sleeve and I was still scared up until the wheeled me into the OR. But based on your scripture in you signature you have something very important faith in God he will pull you through.

Thanks for reading my post and Take Care

      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.
