since surgery I haven't bought any new clothes I was wearing a size 26 jeans and 3x shirt my sister has been giving me some of her old clothes size 22 pants and 2x shirts but today my sister and I went to the mall which we've done a couple times since my surgery in March I would always refuse to try clothes on mostly due to I hate clothes shopping and I don't feel feminine wearing dresses or skirts I'm mostly jeans and t-shirt kinda woman but today since I'm now hundred and seventy seven pounds and I feel kinda good about myself I tried on some jeggings and a nice shirt I'm proud to say that I can fit a size 14 in jeggings and a tight large shirt I'm so excited I don't ever remember being the small and that's saying a lot considering I have about 25 pounds of fat around my stomach being apple shape is a b****. I'm going to stop at 140 or 145 and stay that way until next year where I can have my plastic surgery. My sister is about 11 pounds heavier than me and she wears it well we're I look like I weigh a lot more than her about 30 pounds more than her since I have this big stomach until I have the surgery I don't think I'm ever going to feel skinny.

      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.
