Yes! My bracelets and watch are all too big. And my elbows hurt when I lean on chair armrests or tables.

My 57 yr old male neighbor called and told me that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight (among other things). He only saw me down the driveway, INSIDE MY CAR!!! And he didn't know about the surg! :D It was the first time somebody commented, that didn't know. Yay!!! FINALLY!

I thought I was crazy for always putting my fingers around the opposite wrist. Its weird and exciting to notice the skinny girl beginning to emerge.

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

Yes I have noticed this! I bought this leather coach Bracelet about a year ago that never fit and yesterday it did:) I wore heels that use to be so tight tonight. Not only were they loose but walking on four inch heels is soooo much easier minus 80 or so pounds!

I love this. I bought this killer pair of heels a few years back, and they've been collecting dust in my closet ever since. I can't wait until I don't feel like I'm going to break my ankle wearing them!

Today is one month from my surgery date and I'm considering this to be my first nsv and that is I actually weight the same as what is says on my drivers license. May sound silly but I haven't been this weight in years!

I celebrated that accomplishment too! It reads 175 but weighed 200 and now I weigh 135. Haven't changed my license yet.

I just renewed my license last month. Since I was 100 lbs down I actually was proud to put my real weight down. The first time EVER!

      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.
