I met a friend for lunch who I hadn't seen in a year. I walked past him 3 times and he didn't recognized me.

When you go to Six Flags and ride the roller coasters with your teenage kids instead of waiting on a bench.

Same here, although I'm not skinny yet. I've been shopping in my closet until just recently, now everything is too loose. I bought new undies at La Senza the other day, and realized that it was an NSV at checkout. 🤗

When the weather takes a quick turn towards fall and you realize you need a whole new winter wardrobe and head down to TJ Maxx to grab some sweaters real quick and end up buying smalls. I've never been a small anything...

When you go to the doctor and no longer shed everything you can before you get on the scale. And they don't have to push the scale all the way to 300 and count back

When you have to find new ways to position your legs while sleeping because when they are together you can now feel the bones in your knees so it's uncomfortable

When someone looks at your ID card and says that it is not you

Oh that happened to me when I got pulled over for speeding. He looked at my license and said, "That is not you!" I just laughed. He had me show him before and after photos just to prove my identity. Then he asked me a whole bunch of questions. By the time we were done, he forgot to give me a ticket for speeding and had taken down my number 😎. I was a smooth operator!

P.S he is really cute and I have a date this Friday!!

Same! I was a size 20/2X last fall/winter prior to my surgery and was down to an 18 by spring.

Now I'm a size 12/14 and a S/M. Time for all new clothing, which is starting to get expensive. Downside to having all 4 seasons, I need different wardrobes

      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.
