I actually like clothes shopping now and feel like I look like a girl.

I often say I feel like a girl now....hate that I spent so many years not feeling that way!

Yay for you! We wasted years didnt we?? At my appointment earlier today the nurse said "oh my gosh you look so young. Definitely not old enough to be Nick's mom." He is 22! I LOVE that people think this cuz I was so worried that post op, my wrinkles would really show and id look older. Glad thats not true!

Completed day one of couch to 5k workout. I was able to run and complete the whole thing. This would have never happened before surgery. I would have given up after the first bit of running!

I shopped at a store in the mall called Vanity. I haven't been able to shop at a regular store in years and not only that but I wasn't in the largest size in that store. I'm fitting into "regular" clothes. I came home and weighed myself for the first time in like a month and I am down 20 lbs since the last weigh in and a grand total of 100 lbs today!!! Can't believe it! I'm so excited.

Does anyone else find themselves gravitating to the plus sizes by force of habit? I do it a lot. Then I catch myself and head to petites! Still can't get over me in petites! :-)

It's so hard for our minds to catch up to our bodies it seems. Today, for the first time, I'm wearing a size 6 pant and an x-small top. Who knew this was ever possible? Not me! (That little voice in my head just said, "yeah but the pants are kind if stretchy and the sweater must run large"). Whatever.

I went shopping for clothes this weekend. I came home with a bunch of great stuff, but complained to my fiancé that I couldn't find anything in the size I needed. He then asked me "were you looking in the plus size section or regular section?"... It occurred to me... I was ONLY looking in the plus size section when I'm down in NORMAL sizes again! Holy cow! I haven't gone to the regular womens section since 8th grade! I didn't even think to look there!!

This is so me. Always thinking the sizes run large. It is so hard to see me as who I am...

      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.
