3 years later when you are cleaning out your closet again and you find that one pair of pants you kept to always remind you of your accomplishments! So you step into them and pull them up and let them fall off!! LOL - just because you can! :) keep it up everyone - staying the course works!!

When clothes shopping doesn't suck!

When you can actually buy clothes off the rack, and they fit without alterations.

When you tuck in your tee shirts because it looks sleeker.

Heck, when you even have the guts to wear shirts that aren't oversized tents.

I'm tellin' ya, this procedure makes a whole world of difference!!!

You get a backache from a long drive - because your fat no longer fills in that lumbar support need! I have to get one of those pillows now I guess.

You try on multiple outfits in the morning to find something presentable, but this time ruling out all the TOO LOOSE outfits instead of the too tight ones! (Yay!)

LOL - you can't make the recliner sit back upright just by leaning forward any more! I have to reach up with both arms and pull now. Too funny last night as hubby saw me trying to get up.

YESSS!!! This happened to me this morning. I buttoned up a size 16 1/2 shirt and it was too big. (I used to wear an 18.5.) So I moved it to the back of the closet and put on a 15.5. This is freakin' awesome!!!

When your co-worker tells you that you need to go buy smaller scrubs... and the ones you're wearing are the smaller scrubs you bought a month ago!

While out on my walk during break time i caught sight of my reflection next to my friend (who is probably about 120ish) and i didn't want to crawl in a hole and die. In fact i felt quite proud.

Also... i now weigh LESS than my husband!!! First time in my life I weigh less than the guy I'm with. :D

Still very very far to go, and am a chronic slow loser, but I'm enjoying every little NSV!!

I took my son to Buckle to get a watch & the sales guy thought I was there to shop for clothes. He said so you need M tops & 27 or 28 pants right? Btw... A 27 or 28 at Buckle is nothing like a 22 at Lane Bryant! I was so happy to just be seen as me by someone who didn't know me before!! & the guy was completely correct! He is really good at his job!????

When you don't worry about someone else parking too close to you in the parking lot for you to get into your car.

      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.
