Just wondering how long it took you post op folks to notice a difference in how your clothing fit?

It won't take long my dear! Likely about a month, if that.

Your going to drop so fast you won't be able to afford to keep up with the clothes shopping!!! My advise is shop cheap (thrift, swaps,etc) until your weight stabilizes.then start buying new!

Oh shoot I noticed after 2 weeks on my liquid diet that my clothes fit better!! It's awesome! What drives me crazy is and has always been my big butt. Even though my clothes fit around tummy better, still waiting for butt shrinkage! Lol

No question about it - the weight drops fast. You won't have to wait long to see, feel the difference and it just keeps going and going and going. Just like the energizer bunny!!

I'm top heavy so I've been dropping bra sizes like crazy...my shoulders are narrower and I'm 2 months 5 days out...started size 20 in jeans. Down to 18's but there all to big (falling off too big. I can take em on & off without unfastening or unzipping) ...at the top I was a 22/24 now I'm an 18/20...maybe smaller cuz they fit loose. Bra size was a 44ddd. Down to a 42dd but my boobs fall out of my bra if I bend over so it probably time for a new bra

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
