I know you all will understand

So u just have to post this because I know you will all understand. I am in desperate need of clothes for work that are not falling off me. I went to Goodwill because I can't justify spending lots of money on clothes that I will only wear for a month or so if best. I went and really didn't know what size I needed. I grabbed a couple sizes and went to the dressing room. Long story short. I fit in a 22! I was so elated! I went from a size 30 pants only 3 months ago, to a 22! And actually, I'd say a 20 in a few weeks. The 22 were not tight at all. Sorry, I just had to share because I know you will all understand! I can't remember a time that I had to go down a size, and not go up...

LOL I had to finally break down and buy new scrubs.. cuz of the comments.. those look like your older sisters hand me downs they were so big..and those look like a dress on you..and when are you going to buy some new scrubs.. those are falling off.. so I broke down..and was so shocked at the size I had to buy.. I still bought a size bigger.. cuz I wasnt believing what I was seeing. Im like I dont wear a large.. no way im bigger than that.. turns out im not. I hold up the clothes and im like those look small for me.. but omg they fit.. weird mind games lol... best of luck to you :)

Congrats how wonderful for you. I totally understand, I'm only 5 weeks out, but I've lost 31 lbs, and everything looks baggy on me, I'm having a hard time keeping some of my pants up. however, I refuse to buy new clothes just yet, I can sew and plan on taking some of them in,

I hear you. I tried to hold off on buying new clothes for as long as possible. I was able to camouflage my baggy clothes for a few months. But when I did buy some, I couldn't believe how many sizes I lost. I didn't buy much because doc sad I'd come down another 2 or 3 sizes in another 3 months a the rate i' losing. Unbelievable!!!!

      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.
