Your tights are sagging?! Yup! Never thought my tights would get loose on me, but there's extra loose fabric right under my butt and belly. The best part is, they didn't fit before surgery and they're a 1x!

I can relate to so so many of these. One of my favorites is, "oh my God, who knew you had such a long neck!?" LOL

When I can get out of my car and step between the car and the garage wall (a small space for two cars) and don't get my clothes dirty from squeezing against the car!

You can wear a pair of jeans with a designer's name label over the back pocket rather than labels that say "Pass" and "Don't Pass" over the back pockets.

I know a lot of these are repeats, but mine are:

Realizing my driver's license weight is actually higher than my real weight now.

Running upstairs and not gasping for breath.

Having to buy all new bras and panties because I'm swimming in them.

Feeling ribs, collarbones and hipbones.

Running into my husband's ex-wife, who used to taunt me about my weight, and seeing her eyes get really big. I'm thinner than she is now. That has to be the best one!! LOL

When the jeans you haven't worn in about a year fit perfect again, and you are actually wearing jeans ( I started wearing leggings after my size 16 jeans no longer fit, and I refused to buy clothes until I lost weight)

You grab your typical XXL or XL shirt and then end up buying a plain old L size shirt at Old Navy! Let the shopping begin! Watch out Mediums, I'm coming for you next!

      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.
