Clothing doesn't fit yet!



Recommended Posts

I haven't been this weight in over 5 years. However, I still cannot wear the jeans that I was wearing 10 lbs heavier than this. What gives? I wasn't more muscley then.

I have lost almost 50 pounds and only one clothing size. AAARGH! I feel like there isn't much of a difference in the way I look. I know, how I feel is most important, but that hasn't been different either, as I never really felt bad Healthwise before the band.

Is it skin? What? I am so sick of being a plus size! I'm still a 20!

Loose skin could play a part. I am the same weight now as I was when I met my husband 9 years ago. I can barely squeeze into the jeans I was wearing comfortably when I met him.....I'm sure the reason is loose skin I have hanging on my lower abdomen that I didn't have back then.

Who knows? I'm the other way round, I'm thinner at this weight than I was at 16 years old. I cant figure it, I thought I was just "feeling" thinner you know, but a comparison of photographs, I have double chins and am really beefy at 84kg at 16, whereas I have none of that now. I think I have a lot more muscle due to the exercise over the past year and as an adult, you just naturally lose that facial puppy fat I think.

But what can you do than go with it, you will get there, just keep plugging away, and exercising makes a lot of difference.

I think its all about body porportions too.. when you gain weight.. your body changes shape and when you lose it.. doesnt always go back to the same shape. I lost alot of weight and was the weight i am now a couple yrs ago, but then gained ALOT back and now back down to where i was.. my body is completely different shaped then before.

      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.
