So I don't have any long sleeve shirts that really fit and I went to old navy today on my lunch break and I was able to fit in an xl!! Do you now how long I have been shopping in the plus sizes, I didn't even think anything at old navy would fit, figured if it didn't I could get my boys something. So 3 weeks out and new clothes already! My cousins that have had this surgery both told me the best part would be shopping!!!

Doesn't it feel great, my surgery is tomorrow morning but I had to lose liver fat before and lost 40lbs. Getting out of plus sizes was the greatest feeling. Kuddos to you!

while I think fitting into smaller sizes or non-plus sizes is a good motivator and benchmark, I am hoping that the more important things to me will be improvements in my health and how I feel...not to be a downer here, but I can recall a time when I had major weight loss and had gotten down to a size 12, I was young then (in my 20s), and my focus was on my size and how I looked in clothing...I still was not satisfied at a size 12, even though I look back now and realize that was a muscular body, and I was in great health and aerobic shape...I just wished I had focused more on that aspect; i.e., my health and how fit I was as opposed to my size...keep up the good work

      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.
