Down a size. Yes Yes Yes



Recommended Posts

So on Sunday 7/21/13, I went to my luggage where I stored all the clothes that doesn't fit anymore just to see/recall what was in there and also because my size 24 pants were getting too big on me. I tried on my size 22 favorite jean skirt that I have not worn in over 2years and it fit, even felt loose. I tried a bunch of outfit and finally had to fold all my size 24 pants that I wear to work and replace them with size 22 ones. I tried on a size 18 but would not fit cos my thighs are still fat. So excited that I'm officially a size 22 which was my size 2yrs ago.

Sleeved 6/5/13-my birthday.

Highest weight-300

Surgery weight-287

Current weight- 269 as of 7/12/13

inches gone- a bunch

So happy and looking forward to the next 2months.

I also went shopping in my "too small for me" spare closet. Woohoo, I too had to get rid of the size 24 jeans. I comfortably fit in 22's and a few 20's. Yippee for you and me!

      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.
