Woo-Hoo! Another Visit To Nsvtown



Recommended Posts

Today I took 10 skirts and 45 tops, jackets and sweaters, all size 26/28, out of my closet. I had to make room for all the new size 18/20s I got yesterday. Oh yeah, that's right baby! I'm down 5 dress sizes and just less than 70#. Woo-hoo!

Hey thanks. Best wishes to you. We started out at the same size you know. Maybe it won't be long before you post your 18/20 pic

Woot! Don't buy too many 18/20's. I made that mistake. You'll be out of that size in no time flat. GOOD FOR YOU!!!

I can definitely vouch for don't buy too many of one size. I bought a pair of size 20 jeans that are already too loose on me and, even with hot Water washing, are loose coming out of the dryer now. I'm going to skip the 18s, since the ones I tried on yesterday are barely tight and buy a pair of 16s in a week or so. But, I can now find jeans at Goodwill rather than needing to buy at regular retail! :)

I'm really ticked off about one thing, though. I've been really working hard on the bike and walking, so now I have no clue what size undies to buy! It's not like I can go in and try them on!

They need to come up with a variety pack, size x down to size y, made especially for WLS losers. ^_^

You can try taking a measurement of your waist and then google it to see what size you would be in different brands.

Way to go! I cannot wait to get "too small" for all of the 22's I have worn 4 ever! Gotta love Goodwill and Consignment shops!

Just so y'all don't feel too bad about me losing my money on clothes; I got to go to a nice church yard sale. Their ladies were fund raising. I bought two garbage bags of very nice clothes for $40. The outfit I have on in the pic cost me a grand total of $3! That included those really cute shoes. I am the savings queen

      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.
