Went to go exchange some jeans today...size 8's for a size 4! Never thought I'd be that size! 18 to 4 in 9 months!

Just picked up some new clothes bc we are going to the Caribbean in a few days and I can't wear any of my old summer stuff! I got my shorts/shirts in a 1x! Down from 3 and 4xs! I also got a new swimsuit and went from a 32w to a 22w! My pants have gone from 30/32w to a 22w and could probably wear an 18! I'm flabbergasted! :-)

My rings keep slipping off! And I can wear an 18 inch chain/necklace without it looking like I'm trying to strangle myself.

I'm afraid I'll lose my wedding ring. It keeps wanting to slip off my finger. I may need to have it sized soon. :-)

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

Could you use a ring guard?

That's a good idea. I was thinking when I resize my wedding ring I could still wear the eternity ring behind it like I always do. Since the diamonds go all the way around it doesn't matter that it turns.

If not, like someone else suggested I will put it on a chain.

What is a ring guard?

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

You've got to be the only person I have ever heard who put a positive spin on shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice-chunky wet snow! Lol

      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.
