Recommended Posts

Wow!!! It just didn't seem to want to come. I've been wearing my size 18 jeans since surgery and today was 'jeans' day-friday at work. I put them on and I knew they were baggy, but I looked in the mirror this morning and they were ridiculous looking in the front. So I mustered all my courage and tried my 16's on and VOILA!!!! They fit...holy cow!!!! They are a little tight...but the way all jeans are when they come out of the wash....they will relax and fit fine. OMG!!!!! I can't believe it!!! I've had little moments of triumph but THIS just makes me sooooo happy. :) HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Congrats. Took forever to get back into the 16s, so I hear ya.

Now it's taking me forever to get under 200... been working on it for three weeks now. Determined not to update my ticker 'til I get there. I WILL get there! I've lost 70 lbs to date and have been able to unload all of the boxes of clothes in different sizes that I saved for years. That in itself is a victory. To all of us struggling, HANG IN THERE.

Woot woot! It is a great feeling! I rummaged through my closet yesterday for size 20 jeans and the whole way up the leg I was chanting, "Please fit, please fit!" -- and they did! At first I thought they were too tight (you know, the right out of the dryer feeling). But less than an hour later I found them very loose and I tugged on them all day like I needed a belt to hold them up! Not quite ready for an 18, but getting closer every day!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

      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.
