Im not losing much weight but my clothes fit way better

Had surgery on April 10th wednesday home by April 12th friday. sore of course when i got home but no bowel movement for ten days turns into small bowel obstruction. back in hospital on april 17th wednesday a week later and surgery again. woke up with a nasogastric tube a g tube with drainage bag. they capped off naso tube on sunday until then only ice chips which didn't start until friday. now after the first surgery was tired and a little weak but now when i get a little tired or short of breath i can sit down for a few minutes and i am ready to go again it is the weakness that is worst than before. right now may 6 I still have the g tube which has been great for taking Meal Replacements and Water into because the smell of the Meal Replacement causes my stomach to turn. and i can crush all my vit and other meds and put them in my tube. only foods that i have been able to eat since surgery is small curd cottage cheese' date=' greek yogurt, tuna, Jello and pickles. i tried to eat grilled chicken and veg beef Soup after each bite i felt it stop in my throat and i didn't feel relief until i regurgitated it. I have no appetite so guess it is just better for me to continue meal replacements and Protein Powder and drink my water. Was told that the g tube would be in for 6 weeks. don't really mind it because i can push the meal replacement mixed only with water through my tube. If i didn't have it i would have mixed the meal replacement with skim chocolate milk like i did pre surgery.[/quote']

Just tried on my size 22 Levis that I LOVE! they were too loose! I almost died! The butt and legs are so baggy, I can't even wear them. What a great feeling. I have them in size 20, 18, and 16 too. I'll have to dig them all out soon! By the time it gets cold enough for jeans again, I hope they are all too big. I'm loving this today!

Yay!! My pants aren't big enough yet for a new size, but they look a little bit like a soggy diaper around my butt! Super loose on the legs, too! I wish I had a collection of sizes like you. I see a lot of leggings and tunics in my near future!

Wish I would've done measurements beforehand. My legs are definately smaller. Before my body was hard, like hard fat. Now everything is soft and wobbly. Does that make sense?? Anyway a change.
