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. "

I have had the exact same thing said to me! Too funny! Nurses are great for our egos!

I went to good will (temporary clothing) and was looking in 18/16 instead of 24/22/20. I walk by a mirror and wonder who's next to me( it's just me) my niece saw me in street clothes (we work together) and said crap you have the size you were. Good day good Day

Auto correct. Half the size you were

*When you try on pants you bought you thought you would fit into in a month or so and they are already to big!!!

*When you can move the drivers seat up another foot and can reach the pedals without have to stretch.

* when you walk past a mirror and wonder who is in the room with you

* when your grandson (one year old)takes a while to recognize you every other weekend:)

I love getting to go to TJ max and not having to shop in plus size. I'm 3.5 months out, and have gone from a 20 to an 8/10 pant size. Almost got into a size 8 dress but my bust is still to big. I love 5hat feeling you have lots of selection and can try just about anything on.

When you start tucking your shirts into your pants because you realize that you look more slender that way than untucked, and you want to show off your new bod. :o B)

When your doctor emails you saying your cholesterol results are phenomenal and cuts your medication in half. She will recheck in 3 months and hopefully off for good!!

      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.
