You all are amazing' date=' I'm saving this thread to remember when I'm stalling or feeling down! I'm at a two week stall after losing twenty pounds since January 1st. That fear that I will just stay here forever is a big one, so it's very inspiring to see all of you so successful months after surgery![/quote']

I am stalled also and its discouraging but we will get through it!

I love big shirts so going to be hard to break that habit! But my 16's are baggy and I have to keep pulling them up

That was one of the hardest things for me to break too... even now. covering everything up with a big shirt. What helped me was having one of my kids take a pic of me in an outfit so I can visualize how it looks. Its weird but looks different in a pic versus a mirror. Smaller well fitting shirts just make you look smaller.

I started out 2X and 18 and I'm three months out in XL and 14. The top is always going to be a bit larger than the bottom thanks to my DD's which aren't shrinking all that much.

      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.
