I can't find a good spot for this, but last year I got some boots and could only zip the up about halfway. This year, after lapand, I can not only zip them up but they are sort of big around the leg. I'm so thrilled.

Well, I've noticed that my legs are getting quite thin. I look like a balloon standing on sticks. My stomach is still huge as are my arms. I'm hoping they will get smaller someday but I haven't lost a pound in a couple of months. I think it's because my band is too tight and I can't really eat a lot of Protein and veggies. So I exist on fattening stuff. But I'm going to get an unfill on Christmas break and hope that I will start losing again. Oddly, it seems that one must eat to lose weight. Whoda thunk it?

Thats fantastic! Way to Go!

Buying some boots is one of my band-goals!

Lane Bryant had boots last year and they were pretty cool looking. They are cut for larger legs. I like English riding boots and they had those. I didn't get them because I got the other boots that I couldn't zip up. I also bought a leather jacket from Lane Bryant and it's very good. I also have a padded leather coat from there. They have some nice clothes. Take a look at their site.

That is wonderful! One of my goals is also to be able to wear boots someday. I have always had fat legs/calves and have never had a pair of boots since I was a teen.

I love the look of riding boots with long skirts. that is one of my "clothing wish" goals.

      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.
