Yep, I'm 5 pounds shy of a 100 pound loss & I'm still wearing pre-surgery clothes. They are much looser now and before surgery I really truly probably needed to go up a size. I can fit in smaller sizes too but still wear my old clothes.

No one notices because you need to go buy new smaller clothes! ;-) Part of the problem is we have stretched our clothes way out. When we wash them they shrink, so they are tight when we put them on. However a few minutes after putting them on they loosen up. Because they were snug when we first put them on we assume we haven't lost.

Personally I can wear my 20's but they look like clown pants by the end of the day. I need to retire them. I can also wear all 18's and a few 16's. the 14's make it to the top of my thighs. (Try them on every Sunday. One of these days they will go all the way up).

Go shopping! Even if you don't buy anything, go play!

      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.
