You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

When you realize you've been sitting with your legs crossed for some time before you realize you didn't use to be able to do that.

When the skinny Asian girls at the nail salon are teasing you about how tiny you are and squeezing your tiny waist in their tiny hands!

When you try on a shirt from the little girls section at target and it fits.

Ha. Yeah. I'm really petite.

You know you lost weight when.....

Your husband laughs when you discover various new bones you had no idea you had. You the feel compelled to make him feel them.

When your pants no longer fit you and you have to rummage through the closet looking for old jeans so that you have something to wear that day and say to yourself that you have to go shopping on the weekend for clothes. Also when your hubby hugs you so tight all night long and won't let you leave the bed in the morning. Lol. I guess I'm not used to that attention. But it's a nice feeling.

Your undies start drooping in the rear like a baby in desperate need of a diaper change!

My daughter hasn't seen me in a few months. She reaches over to put a hand on my leg, then stops and says, with hand on my leg, "what's this?"

"A muscle." Silence.

      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.
