I was just thinking about how my pajama top is really long on me and how the V-neck is really low. I looked at the size and thought to myself that I may need to buy new jammies soon.....

So a few of my favorite things that I have noticed these last 2 months are:

- I have a neck and jawline now

- my underwear is waaaaaay to big and I need smaller ones stat!

-I'm running out of the smaller shorts in my closet. The ones I would fit into now I threw away a

loooooong time ago

- My stomach pooch is considerably smaller

- my daughter's teacher noticed I had lost weight! (woohoo!)

- need smaller jammies

- I fit into a foldable yard chair easier

- need smaller belts

- my blood pressure keeps going down with every doctor visit, no more BP meds

- no more cholesterol meds

- easier to get into and outta my car

- need smaller bras

- don't have to stretch out my t-shirts before I put them on

What have you noticed and liked?

Congrats on your NSV's :) :D

My goodness, for me it's so many things!

- After cleaning i'm not so winded and don't sweat anymore.

- Back use to ache when i washed dishes. Not anymore baby!

- dark spots on my face are clearing up

- My neck is super thin and my face has pulled back considerably

- After my mom uses my car ( she's way thinner than me) i don't have to readjust so i can fit. Her chair settings fit me comfortably.

- My shorts are way too big.

- Jeans no longer fit me. Too big.

- As you stated, pooch is getting way smaller so it doesn't poke out when i wear dresses. My stomach somewhat flat in clothes.

- When i climb the stairs i'm no longer out of breath

- I more comfortably in small chairs.

- Small clothes are becoming too big and small bras are fitting just right now.

I can go on and on and on..it's not easy but the good has most definitely been outweighing the bad.

      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.
