Recommended Posts

Newgrandmother.. You're lookin awesome! I had to do a double take on your pic because I thought it was two different people!

Hang in there and stay positive.

My situation is a bit differnt because all my weight gain was in the last year since my band removal so I still have all my old jeans and just shop in my closet. If it wasn't for that I swear I'd go insane if I had to physically try to find pants that fit. I HATE shopping for pants!

Clothing sizes makes no sense to me

Lol... Take it from a person who still shops in the junior ( though I shouldn't ) a16 junior is definitely smaller that a 16 woman's. :)

Let me say this-a few years ago I went to a uniform shop. Tried on a set of scrubs, they fit great, so I grabbed a few more sets. Only one set fit when I got home. All three were the same size, same brand. Just try a different brand. I like old navy jeans.

It really is all about distribution. My legs have always been thinner than the rest of me, now they look like chicken legs with my barrel sized tummy on top. I know that in the end everything will balance out, I think we just need to keep going and be grateful that we can't just give up and have a comforting pint of ice cream like in the old days.

      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.
