Brenda, how big do their jeans go right now? I SWEAR I tried on size 13 jeans yesterday and they were tight. I was so upset. But I know it's this stupid swelling. If I were to try the same jeans on this morning they'd probably be loose. This swelling is a nasty biotch.

since you inspire me I went upstairs and tried on my jeans. This are Maidsons from Abercrombie size 12 and they fit loose, so then went to my EZRA from Abercrombie size 10 and about 1/2 inch to even button. cant do the suck it in thing cuz the stitches hurt. I could wear those 10's, ok fat hung over the sides, but they were on before surgery. Am I being too good to myself in these recovery days? How long is this fin swelling supposed to stay literally "on my hips" How is it possible to remove 3 lbs of skin from my tummy and the jeans dont fit? OOH now I am getting the why the heck have I gone thru 2 weeks of --- and my jeans are tight I wanted to be in those 8's Im saving!!

Abercrombie regualr styles go to a 12 or 14 and the Ezra & Fitch go to a 12. as my daughter told me " its a feel good store" the sizes according to her run alittle larger than say American EAgle. I dont care 6-8 at Abercrombie I'll pay $100 for those sizes. At American Eagle I wear a 10 also 12 depending on the style and cut.

It's a good thing I live 150 miles from the nearest mall, I'd be there now trying on jeans!

You guys are super sweet, thanks for your awesomely kind words!

Brenda, I gotta travel a good 30 miles to the nearest Abercombie, so I think I'll try Aeropostale today. I liked their jeans before. JC Penney also has some cute jeans in their Jr. section. I just hate spending money on pants when I know they're just not going to fit again in a couple of weeks.

Hey mom, I mean Karey, the doc just said since I haven't worn one for the first 3 weeks it's not going to make a huge difference the next few weeks if I have a compression garment or not. The first compression garment was causing a lack of blood flowing to my lower abdomen and some major bruising. Once I took the binder off the bruising went away. I tried on some "compression garments" at Dillards the other day. They push my back-fat up and give me a little roll back there. How do you get rid of that??? I have a larger ribcage and broader shoulders, so I think it compresses me more at the top than other people.

puddin, you look awesome. By the way, what's your sign? Do you come here often?

Just kidding.

Don't you mean "where's your sign?"

Back in the Pleistocene Era (where I'm from) "what's your sign" was the quintessential "pick up line." You're way too young to know that. The reference was to astrological signs like Aquarius, Pisces, etc.

LOL. No, I knew that. I just brought it back to Jeff Foxworthy status. I'm not THAT young (wink wink)

Hey Puddin, lookin' awesome! I'm wondering how your arms have faired through your weightloss? A lot of looseness or saggyness? You should take a picture of yourself in the same pose as your 'before'! :)

      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.
