The first time I slipped into a size 4 jeans (at The Gap) I was talking to myself "NO WAY" I can still wear them, but after vacation and a family reunion, my size 6's feel better. I lost two lbs last week, another three and the 4's will not be as snug. My initial goal was to wear a size 8, that is what my mom wore, so I thought if I could get from my 18's and 20's......it would be a miracle. I was shocked how quickly it happened and knew I could keep going!!! This 'tool' we have is better than I had ever dreamed!!

congrats! I dont think I have ever been a 4 in my life, I was jumping up and down in the dressing room the other day when I was able to get size 10 capris on and they looked great! A big difference from prevsg when I was also in 18-20. I cant wait until I can get into size 4! You rock that sleeve girl!

      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.
