I am getting married July 30. We didn't have a long engagment, so as soon as I got engaged I went and bought a wedding dress, size 14. Back then I thought that was pretty good because wedding dresses run very small, and at that point I was a size 14/16 in clothes.... so I figured I'd lose some weight, possibly have to take it in, but it'd be fine.

Well, I was having wedding dress remorse (it was "blush" aka pink) and decided to pop into a small dress shop on my way home from work. The woman asked me what size I am and I told her probably a 12 or 14 depending on the style. She looked at me and said "Are you sure? You don't look like a 12/14". So I just let her grab a bunch of dresses for my to try on.

I FIT IN A SIZE 8!!!!!!!!!! Granted it was a corset back and pretty snug, but OMG. I walked out of that shop with the BIGGEST smile. And a problem.... I was trying to find a cheap dress to replace my pink one.

Well, I went to the shop where I got the pink dress and explained my situation to the saleswoman who was SO nice. She let me do an even exchange and the dress fits me so I don't have to pay for many alterations! Never in a million years did I think I would be wearing a size 8, mermaid style dress (I had always gone for a-line bigger stuff that flatters big hips!).

Here is a pic in my original size 8 inspiration dress.... although it is gorgeous I couldn't afford it :( But I got something similar :)

Wow, you look just amazing. I am so inspired by you. I can't tell you how much I want to have that experience, and be able to buy a wedding dress in a single digit size. Congrats, that is such an wonderful NSV.

      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.
