One of my sleeve sisters kept her fat pants too and would take a picture of her new pants on top of her old pants. Last picture she posted was of her standing in one leg of the fat pants.

I find it amazing that you can look back and call them fat pants with a smile on your face.

Congrats on your success with your sleeve!

What a result! Can I ask did you get a lot of lose skin? I think I will be lucky and not have too much. I'm 220 and hope to be about 140 or 130!!

Passing on the fat clothes is a great thing to do! I have gotten rid of EVERYTHING except the jeans and the shirt I am wearing in my initial pics. Speaking of which it's time to do another closet clean out. Poor pathetic closet haha. I have been able to successfully get both legs into one pant leg. So crazy.

Punkypoo, my skin is not that bad, except my stomach. I have had 3 c-sections and carried twins so my stomach is pretty trashed and will need to be repaired but it needed to be fixed when I was fat anyways. My arms don't look bad unless I lift them out and pull down on the skin ha. My thighs and butt are somewhat giggly but really nothing like the people at my support group. And you definitely cannot tell if I am dressed. Even with my stomach being as bad as it is, it hids pretty well. My boobs totally deflated but I was pretty small in that department to begin with :/ I do not exercise so I am sure that if I did the giggly skin would tighten up.

You look fabulous! Our beginning stats and goal are almost the same. I have been glad to say good bye to the size 20's, but I can't imagine ever getting to a size 2.

Great job working your sleeve, thanks for the inspirational post.

I never thought it was possible. I thought I would be lucky to ever fit a size 8 and before I knew it I was in a 6 and it just kept on going ha. Now I am kind of nervous to see what size I will fit once I have my stomach repaired, I measured the flat area under the fat around my c-section scar and it is 3 inches smaller than that skin that will be removed :/

Thanks so much for this post!! You look amazing--congratulations on your achievement!!

I'm really starting to wonder where I'm going to end up size-wise--I, too, have a "cranky" sleeve--LOVE that term for it, BTW--and I don't work out regularly. You are a lot younger than I, but you look like everything's bounced back just wonderfully. You give me hope! :-) Keep us posted, please! Would love to keep up with where you are and how things are going!

      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.
