for me it is funny because i have so many dif sizes in my closet that every time i pull some thing out to put on i dont look at the size i just but it on and then take it right back off and put it my "give away" pile... It is great to beable to go get new clothes know that they will never be in the "some day" section of the closet again rather in the "give away" pile... :D

When I finally bought some "new" jeans I went to resale shops. I figured, I'm not paying full price for jeans I'm not going to be in for long. I went from a size 22 to an 18. I will be shopping again for "resale jeans" for smaller sizes real soon!

I need new jeans again, too! I am planning to hit Goodwill and pray for some that will fit me. I started at a 26 as well, and I'm now shopping for 18/20. I bought some killer new heels that I wore out last weekend. The jeans I wore with them last Saturday night are now so big that my belt creates a blouse effect in my pants if I tighten it enough to keep them up. Oh, the tragedy of needing new, smaller clothes! :)

Thanks everyone. I'm very excited! I had a very long 6 week stall and was getting so discouraged! When I finally started losing again, it just went so fast!

      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.
