When your pants get longer because your butt is smaller

Lol! I totally was aloof and kept thinking companies kept making short pants! :) :)

My mother, who was sternly against the surgery and says nothing on progress or anything... finally breaks her silence and says "wow, you really do look thinner" (then quickly changes topic

LOL, :lol: no longer LMFAO

The words of an RN on your first week back after 2 1/2 months is

" cancer???" My response was "Really, you gonna go there shrew"

Sorry I lied about that, I think I said "Shrek"

...the day you can finally pull your pants and belt up to an actual, honest-to-goodness waist! And it turns out to be more comfortable than wearing them under your belly like you did for all those decades. And you don't have to keep pulling your pants up every five minutes because your stomach is pushing them down. In other words.... When you're no longer shaped like one of those blue bulbs used for sucking the stuff out of a baby's nose. :o :rolleyes:

When we went to a trampoline park and never wondered if I was too heavy to jump. Wasn't winded. Had a great time jumping!

When your coworker says, "girl I don't even recognize you from behind anymore" and others say, "yeah I thought we had a new nurse working here until you spoke to me. "

      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.
