I have always LOVED the photos of people standing in one pant leg of their "fat pants". I never thought I would be able to do this... but tonight for fun I got the pants out (I can't find my 22s, so I used my 20s) Here goes!

I took my measurements at two weeks after surgery... and from then till now I have lost 11 inches off my waist, 7" off my butt and 5" off each thigh.

Here is also a photo of my 20s under my 13s. I still have 10 pounds to go, so maybe I will take photos then too.... I LOVE fat pant photos!post-41446-13813668788255_thumb.jpg post-41446-13813668788997_thumb.jpg

How about you?

Thanks girlie! I must have given my 22s away... I do have big bones. I did one of the tests where you measure the bones in your elbow and I was in the "large" catagory. I have never been 125 in my adult life... I would def look like a bone rack... Im 5'9" and at my skinniest (I thought I was fat, but that shows how screwed up my head was then) I was 145 and wore an 11 (30 yrs ago). I am size 13 now and 30 pounds heaver...but in better shape. Whatever! I'n not going to let the numbers push me around, It all good and getting better!

Love these photos!!! and I have to say YOU LOOK GREAT!!!!!!! Posts like yours keep me motivated and remind me I can get there too. Congratulations! You have really made this tool work for you. BTW, in my excitement I recently got rid of a bunch of clothes including all my large pants! Now I wish I had kept one. I do have a huge top however. It's the one I was wearing in "the photo" that made me see that I had to do something significant and get this weight issue under control. I will be sure to save it and do some before and after with it when I get to goal. Like sleeve above said, my top is more of tent than a top :-) so I will have to be creative as to how I do the before and after! Thanks again for the great post!

So much FUN to see these photos! I'm glad you posted. I have one pair of exercise pants that I wore at my heaviest but they were kind of stretchy so I don't think it will illustrate the difference as well as yours do. You're looking amazing!!! Way to go!

Its almost worth going to the thrift store and getting a pair your old size! I will have to look around and see if I have a before pic of myself wearing these same pants....

Thanks Ladies!

      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.
