Throwing ALL my clothes in the dryer!



Recommended Posts

I threw an entire load of laundry in the dryer - work dresses, casual dresses, shirts, shorts ... you name it, and it's 100% Cotton, and it was thrown into the dryer. And as I did it, I was thinking all my clothes could use some shrinkage. Like 73 pounds of shrinkage ... Just like me. These clothes got me through my biggest, and now that I am WAY smaller, they needed to do some minimizing as well.

I still had a heart attack when I was shaking them out. My body may not be the fat chick anymore, but my head is still catching up.

I still wonder "who the hecks underwear are these" when I pull a pair out of the drawer or drier. They are so much smaller then the circus tents I used to wear.

      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.
