I put on some jeans I got for Christmas about 7 years ago. They have never fit. They didn't even fit last week, but today, they do!!!! And I don't mean in that don't breath barely button kind of way, I mean I comfortably wore them all day and looked good, no muffin top. I am the smallest I've been in 12 years.....still plugging along, but feeling pretty flipping good.

I have always hated jeans and the painful red mark they made on my stomach after I wore them for any long period of time. Now I love jeans...one of my favorite things about being a skinny person:) Congrats to you!

It's sooo fun! I try on clothes every week or two. And it's funny how I may lose only 2 pounds in between that time, but things that didn't fit those 2 pounds ago are suddenly fitting very comfortably, like I got a lot smaller even though the scale says otherwise. That's why I do it! When the scale is dropping, I feel positive about the journey. When the scale slows or stalls, it gets frustrating. I purposely start trying on clothes then because I find it the best way to see how I am still shrinking even if the scale doesn't say so.

      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.
