I rocked a size medium BeBe's summer dress yesterday. I haven't been in a medium since Jr High and I've NEVER in my life been able to fit in ANYTHING from BeBe's.

Let's see...

I found out that I have a neck and hip bones, who knew...

The airplane ride last week was great. I was not sick before hand worrying if I would fit

I still can't grasp I can wear a large.

I have 10 bags of clothes for charity!!!

I think I can wear sleeveless :huh:

I am an extremely happily married women ....but sex got better!!!

I look people in the eye at restaurants now instead of feeling guilty for eating like a heffer

I catch men checking me out (not that I care but hey....it's flattering)

I can wear clothes at the store...like normal ones. Affordable ones. No more lb

I have more energy and appreciate my curves

I can feel my bones again (been buried for 5 yrs)

I. Am. Happy.

Best decision I've made hands down (besides marrying my hot hubby)

Fit in airplane seat and no extension. Excess seat belt left over. LOOK!

This is epic!!!!! Congratulations!! There's nothing worse than asking a 100# flight attendant for an extender!!!

I went shopping with my girls and went into one of those teeny bopper stores (OMG that makes me sound so old), but you know the type of store I'm talking about. I tried on a pair of jeans there size 15/16 and THEY FIT!! I didn't like them at all and didn't buy them but I was so excited that they fit. I also stood in front the mirror at the gym the other day and I didn't want to gag!! HA HA, yeah I know that's cruel but I felt closer to average and didn't feel like the one fat girl at the gym. It was amazing!

I have lost 30 pounds since the surgery, and 50 overall (50 to go). Here are my favorite non-scale victories:

Being able to cross my legs!

Being able to sleep on my stomach again!

Being able to run without pain in my hips, knees, and feet!

Being able to shop in the Misses section of the store!!!!!!!

Being able to do a sit-up, or paint my toe-nails, or tie my shoes without my belly causing all the air to whoosh out of my lungs!

So pleased to be able to share with all of you!

      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.
