Nvs... Smaller Clothes



Recommended Posts

So I haven't seen the scale move in about three weeks. This can be somewhat discouraging considering I only have 11lbs to goal. However, my cloths are getting bigger and bigger. I'm in a 5-7 jean now and it is a little strange for me I have to say. I don't know that I want to get much smaller.

Is that weird? I'm at a normal healthy weight. I am exercising now and my muscles are toning up very nicely. I started this because I wanted to get healthy and I know I can still lose more but I don't want to start looking sick, drawn up, and old.

Here are some before and afters. Tell me what you think.

The last three are from today.... In the last one I was only trying to give you and idea of how thin I am under the shirt. Sorry about the tummy showing.

I think you look fantastic. This is a personal question but I am going to ask it anyway!! lol. I noticed that you have bigger boobs? Did you keep these boobs after your weight loss or did you have plastics done. I am very worried about my boobs because they are big and I don't want them to turn into tube socks lol. Sorry if that question is off limits.

No that's a great question!! Those are all me. They were very much bigger to begin with but I think what I lost and what I kept evened out very well. I was told that if you had them before you gained the weight you were looking to lose, you would probably keep most of what you had. That was the case for me.

That all being said... I have a great VS bra on and it helps keep the girls where they should be. I'm a little worried about the fall they have taken but my BF tells me they are still perfect. :)

I don't think that is odd at all. It's a very healthy thought to be able to go "I like me HERE". It can be difficult for us to begin to really be OK with our bodies.

Awww...its a very cute (slim, lol) tummy! Be happy!

thanks Julie, It makes me feel so good about my decision when I see women that have done as well as you. There will be a VS near me soon so I can't wait to go in and try so "real" bras on not sport bras.

You are going to do great! Just remember why you made this decision and everything else will fall into place. I know as a woman we hate to loose the things (breast, in this case) that make us who we are but in the end, we have to do what is healthy for us. Even if you lose what you have, know there are always alternatives. :)

I was a 38 (overflowing) DD or E in some bra's. I am still a 34-36 D Depending on the bra. When I was 12 years old I was a D so I didn't expect to lose too much. Was kinda hoping to lose some though. Just think back to when you were a teenager and that's probably where you will end up. Now that's not saying they won't be pointing in some other direction.LOL! :rolleyes:

      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.
