I just wore a pair of shorts I haven worn since my honeymoon several years ago. Also, I was able to walk 3 miles the other day and ended up dragging my dog behind me by the end of it.

Silly, I know, but how about putting on a regular towel instead of a bath sheet when you get out of the shower! Sorry if TMI!

I went to put on my swimsuit yesterday so I could take my littles to the pool and it just about fell off. I'm so excited to go buy a new one!

How a out the seatbelt fits without cutting off my circulation, the discoloration of my legs due to poor circulation is fading and I can sit comfortably on our barstools now!

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me, I tucked under my other arm before I realized the towel was securely wrapped around me with no gaps. WOW! I don't remember the last time I was able to wrap a towel around me without a huge gap. I did a short Happy dance, and I got ready for work.

Had to buy new scrubs and pulled out the usual size to have the sales lady bring me a smaller size...and they worked! Feeling less humpy dumpty in my scrubs.

I have been wearing stretchy pants/shorts pretty much daily since surgery so I hadn't noticed much of a difference in my clothing until I came across a pair of size 18 shorts. The last size I was in was a 26. I tried them on and they fit perfectly!!! I thought they must've been stretched out or something so I found another pair and to my surprise they fit just as well. And these are not stretchy at all. They actually have a button and zipper!!! Yee Haw!! Feels pretty good.

      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.
