You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

I knew i had lost weight when 2 work jackets I bought years ago never fit...and now I can layer them together and STILL have room in them!!! The funny thing is I often layer them because since losing weight i am cold ALL THE TIME! LOL

My husband and I were shopping and he had to run to the bathroom. When he came back 15 mins later he said that he literally walked past me 3 times and didn't realize it was me. He did recognize me !! Lol

I am only 5' tall so it was always a challenge to get close enough to the gas pedal and not get scrunched up against the steering wheel. Yup! No longer my problem!

When your wife says that you feel "bigger" because there's less separating you! ;) :o B)

When your 8 year old nephew hugs you and says "Wow! You have lost a lot of pounds."

When you don't have to strategically think of how you are going to position yourself to clip your toenails. You can either reach down to clip them without a fat roll hindering you to reach them or you can just bend your leg up to clip them. This may seem silly to some but it was a life defining moment for me!

You have a positive emotional moment in the Kohl's dressing room due to you keep grabbing sizes that are too big! Your mind set hasn't caught up with your body size.

When I put on last years sweater and the sleeves are now way to long. Baffled me for a bit. My arms didn't get shorter, but my shoulders have lost quite a bit. I wasn't expecting that so I tried on a couple more jackets. Same phenomenon. :). The Good Will store is getting some very nice donations.

As a college student I had to open an eBay store to sell my old clothes (I'm dropping sizes fast and only wear things a couple times before I'm on to a lower size) so that I can afford to buy new clothes that fit.

When you can buy shoes a size smaller because you no longer have fat feet.

When the people you work with are concerned that you might get too small. This one is baffling for me because I have always been heavy.

When you think your ring size 7 will fit and realize that after getting sized you are a size 4.5.

Oh the many joys of all this :) I love it!

      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.
