I guess I'll ease up a little with the disappointment. It seems we are all around the same loss. Maybe it's is where we should be or our week was cursed lol.

Surgery 11/27, Down 43 lbs since surgery, -20.75 overall inches. I have been diving into smaller shirts and bras, but feel like my lower half isn't shrinking as fast as I want. Oh well...keep your chin up people...we are all making progress even if it seems slow. I am just hoping to feel good enough to actually wear a bathing suit by this summer. So, I have a couple of months before I freak out...I hope. Right now I love oatmeal with brown sugar splenda.

OH The clothes! Mine are literally crawling up the wall in my spare bedroom. I've only lost 50 but I was wearing some pants from when I was heavier so those went the day of surgery. I am so happy to be down a few sizes but at the same time I am sick about the money. Been trying to get stuff on super clearance. I can't do thrift. Bedbug scare me. I travel a lot for work and I see how prevalent they are. eeeewwww

The positive part of having crazy weight fluctuations and being a bit of a pack rat over the past 6 years is that I have about 5 bins of quality basics to use as my weight goes down, just went through them for the second time since surgery and found about 5 pairs of basic pants for work and about 15 tops that fit again ... since I've purged most of what fit before surgery that means I've quadrupled my clothing supply! I think my husband will finally forgive me for taking up so much attic space! At least I'm saving a little money...

Good for you! I had some stuff from 2011. I had lost some and then gained it back (hence the RNY). but I am now almost out of those pants. In about 20 pounds, I am seriously in trouble.

My clothes are to big on me. Hell I'm 4 sizes smaller than the jeans I wear. However my work pants are elastic so I'm doing ok there. Trying to hold off a month before I buy clothes. Want to be down one more size?

      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.
