You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

I finally believed I had lost weight when I could wear MY daughters clothes. She was donating clothes that were too big for her since she lost weight (she is now in a size 3-4) and I went through the bags. I found several size 10 clothes that fit!!!. I also selected several size 8 clothes to "shrink into".

You know you've lost weight when:

Your Spanx that were too small that made you feel like a sausage in them are now way too big. My body shapers are now 4 sizes smaller. I am hoping for the day that I won't feel the need to wear spanx.

So true!!! Ha! Just gave a brand new pair of spanx (sausage casings are what I call them) to a friend of mine because they were too big... Woohoo!!! :)

I don't know the feeling yet. Surgery scheduled for May 8th. But I want to participate in this thread:

"When you allow full body picture instead of hiding behind people"

I hate that. In all my pictures I'm always behind someone. I want to be CENTER and FRONT!!!!

You know you have lost weight when you see someone struggling with weight like you once did or currently are, and you have a desire to help.

You know you have lost weight when:

Your husband tells you that you've lost massive amounts of weight off your a$$. I've been married 35 years and I'm excited that he's still looking at my behind.

      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.
