One-derland! Need new shorts!



Recommended Posts

For 3 days in a row, morning weight has been in One-derland! That sure seemed a long ways away before banding.

It's hot today and will be all weekend. None of my shorts fit anymore. Ugh! DH took a picture of me last week and my shorts look like a short floppy skirt. I was determined not to buy any new clothes this summer but I may have to break down. Too, bad :heh: :heh: :heh: :heh:

Good job!!

I did most of my "losing weight sizes" off of ebay. Cheaper and you can resell them. Although I had kept most of my "growing" sizes so I was able to just shrink the closet as needed.

I found (in my closet) a pair of khaki shorts that I wore last summer. They were a little baggie - well, a lot baggie - but with a top looked semi OK. Went to a festival this weekend. DH and I walked around the campground in the dark, sipping some wine, listening to jam sessions. I had the flashlight and I guess he didn't like the way I was shining it. He grabbed for the light and knocked the wine out of my hand, all over the shorts. Hmmm. His impatience is gonna' cost him:heh: :heh:

Congrats,

I can't think of a better reason in this world to go shopping than getting into the 100's. I would spoil myself rotten. You've done great, pat yourself on the back, you deserve it.

Hey Stitchy - Congratulations on onderland! I was in the same boat as you. None of my clothes fit very well and i didn't want to buy new ones this summer.

I finally had to buy some clothes this weekend. I was in definate need of a bra. The "girls" were permanently visiting my bellybutton. I was amazed at the difference just a well fitting bra made. When I got a couple of pairs of pants and shirts, my husband and a few friends who saw me said the more fitted clothes make a huge difference and they could really tell how much weight I have lost. Actually, for the first time since my surgery, I could tell my body is smaller as well.

Stitchy, *P L E A S E* go buy some clothes that fit.

Need a clothes donation??

Im sure there are MANY members here that have lost enough weight and have tons of clothes stored in their closet!

Most likely SHORTS in YOUR size!

What size are you wearing now?

As soon as you wear fitted clothes, you (and everyone else) will start feeling and noticing that there's 50 pound less of you. :biggrin1:

Thanks so much for everyone's kind words. I wish I knew what size I am now. Maybe an 18??? I really just know what size I'm NOT! ;) I think maybe I'll at least go try on some clothes this Wednesday. Since we are in the middle of summer, maybe there will be things on sale. I wonder if there is any chance I will be able to shop in the *normal* section? That would be way cool.

      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.
