Had my procedure in Oct. and I am down 75lbs. Just like everyone says along with the weight coming off, so do the inches. I have always done most of my shopping on line because I hate to shop(no matter what size I am). Any way I was wearing 3x tops and 1x bottoms. Needed a few things for summer trips. My size 1x tops and x-lg bottoms arrived today and I will be lucky to make these last the summer b4 they fall off. I was shocked to see how loose they were, to tell the truth I figured if they were too tight for the June trip, I would hopefully use them for the Jan. cruise. So my advise is not to order anything on line but rather go to the store and see just what size you are....

That's a great tip, plus it makes exchanging a lot easier. And you can try the stuff on.

When losing and I see something that I love for some event that's coming up, I buy it in 3 sizes - what I'm currently wearing, and the next 2 down. That way whether I hit a stall or not, I'm covered. Then I can simply take back the 2 that don't work. I gave up on trying to guess what size I'd be at any given point in time. I never even came close to being right.

      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.
