I was a 44, now in a 38 and they are getting looser every week. I was in a 2 x shirt and some of them were tight and now I am in xl and they are getting loose too. I am a pack rat and had my clothes from when I was smaller packed away. It feels so good to see clothes I had not worn in 10-15 years and then putting them on and they feel great. I am down 68 lbs, sleeved 5-13.

From a 64 to a 48 in 6 months, can't wait till I can shop in a real clothing store again. Also a 2x down from a 6x shirt wise and on the last notch of my second belt in that time.

Was a 56 at my peak in 1999. Was a 48ish when I was cut. Down to a 38 easy and might be able to get into a 36 now at goal - 20.

Started at a 56 in May when I had the surgery this year and down to a 40 now after six months. Loss seems to be slowing down so may be at that size for a while. Jackets have gone from 3XL to L as well..

Just had my surgery on Wednesday (11/20/13) and wanted to know what would be good for my 'meals' while on the liquid phase of the post op diet.. any suggestions??? I know I need Water and Protein Shakes but what can I 'eat'?? And is it more important that I try to get in the water and protien shakes down instead of trying to eat?

Is it crazy that I literally had one small spoon full of Jello and felt like I just ate at a buffet...???

I've only lost about 35 pounds in 2 months but I'm down 3 pants size! I'm pleased with the smaller size. My doctor is thrilled . She said I'm losing far but gaining muscle.

Going from a 44 to 38 waist size sounds unbelievable and so fantastic. Congratulations. I have my surgery next month (Dec 14th) so I'm hoping that in the next few months I'll be receiving some of the perks you talk about. Focusing on the things I can DO was much more valuable than the things I CAN'T DO (YET!!!) once again congrats on your success.

      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.
