You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

I had a new one recently -- You know you lost weight when...

your arms fit on the massage table without having to tuck your hands just under your thighs to keep your arms from sliding off the too-narrow table!

You know you lost weight when your underwear falls down past your hips when your at work and try to act like nothing happened while you calmly dismiss yourself to the ladies room to pull them back up.

You realize you have collar bones for the first time in your life. Felt them in the shower the other day and now I randomly reach up to touch them to make sure they're still there.

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.

I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

I started just over a year ago @ 226. I think the biggest thing for me is having bones that stick out. I'm currently 141 lbs at 5ft 4in. I no longer have a goal weight. I'm content where I am and other than some extra skin (which I hate) I can't complain. My pants have went from a size 18 to a size 4.

when, without thinking about it, you casually throw a leg over into a crossed legs sitting position while watching tv... and after freaking out with delight about it, find its actually very comfortable and you stay that way for over two hours comfortably and with good blood supply.

Alright I was the last poster but I've achieved a new one. Not funny, just Fabulous:

When you can fit into your old jeans that were 2 (or more?) sizes two small just weeks ago.

That, and when a friend you see every day says "you really are losing weight, you know"

      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.
