Skinny jeans



Recommended Posts

I'm still in the beginning of the WLS process. Currently wear a size 20/22. However, I have a pair of size 18 red skinny jeans and size 18 regular denim skinny jeans from old navy that really do look fabulous on me. It's definitely a fluke - I usually don't wear skinny jeans EVER. How does that saying go...just cause they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it? LOL. But these two pairs really look awesome. Other than finding an exception, I'd think probably around size 10 or 8 they'll look good on pretty much anyone.

I have always hated skinny jeans ... until recently. At a size 22 there was no way I was wearing them, but I'm in a 16 misses now. I just got some jeans from New York & Co. that I LOVE. They are actually a jegging (again NEVER would have worn them) but I got a size 14 and they fit more like a skinny than a jegging. They are stretchy and not too tight. I have an apple shape and, as I lose weight, all my jeans that fit in the waist end up bagging on my legs and really looks bad. These hit me just above my waist. I have too much waist so if they are too low it's neverending spillage of the tummy! And they stretch just enough to be comfortable and not baggy. They actually hold my belly in and show off my legs which are really pretty slim. I also got a pair of bootcut there and love those too! I'm 5'4 and jeans are always too long on me, but I got the bootcut in a petite and they are perfect. The skinnies I just cuffed once and they look great. I think it's all about the cut of the jeans and how they look on you. I guess never say never :D

      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.
