Hello my fellow sleevers,

I had my surgery on Mach 29th. I'm still getting used to all the changes but so far im very happy with my decision! This last week I had went to my nieces school concert and I was able to fit in the seat without getting stuck, it was a wonderful feeling. But what was even a greater accomplishment for me was when I put on my "only" pair of jeans that fit before my surgery (and even then they were so tight they looked like skinny jeans), are loose and keep falling off. I also fit into 7 more pair of jeans that I had hiding away! I just love clothes so I'm so excited to be able to fit into ones I've only been able to wear once and go shopping for new ones!

Thanks to all of you for your support, positivity, wisdom & humor in all your posts! It's helped me through a lot of my days. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Xoxo Ashley

Awwwwww Ashley

how wonderful is that? make sure you pull up those pants so they don't fall down.

they say finding clothes in your closed that now all of a sudden fit, is like going shopping in the closet - only diffference you don't have to pay.

congrats on the chair situation too.

keep up the good work

congrats

Congrats!! I know the feeling.. My only issue is that I've been the same size for 8-10 years.. so I don't have "small clothes"... I hate wearing the same things every week or two weeks.. Previously, I would recycle my wardrobe maybe once a month... Now... It's belts, dresses and skirts w/ cheap tops and cute jewelry...

I'm losing pounds slowly, but I'm losing inches quite rapidly! I'm glad I'm losing something!! LOL

Your style sounds so cute now! Love the belt & skirt sitch, I cant wait to wear belts! Yea, I have a good amount of clothes were im just "in-between" so they fit around the waist but baggie everywhere else, just not flattering, lol. Hey I'll take the inches off any day, the scale is my enemy so I rely on clothes to give me truth. You go girl, keep rockin that sleeve!

      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.
