Do they shrink or become pancakes

Speaking just for myself, I started at a huge 42F and I am now at a 38DD and the have shrunk/firmed nicely.

Thats awesome but I feel like a failure noe that the scale has halted! I only have 25 lbs to go.

Think about what you are saying. You feel like a failure - even though you have lost a lot of weight. Not sure how much but try turning your thinking around. The scale will move again, but the closer we are to goal the slower the weight loss.

I bought this awesome pair of pants 6 months ago from J. Crew making them my 'goal' pants since I had never been able to fit anything from that store. They have been in the back of the closet where I forgot about them. Found them and tried them on last night...loose!!!!!!!

Can you exchange them for something smaller? I've been returning things I bought months ago that still have tags on them (no receipt returns get store credit) and then having fun shopping for nice things that fit or even buying smaller sizes (because I KNOW I'll get there). :-)

Yesterday I went to the fish market to pick up snow crabs, on my way back home with my daughter she saw a friend of hers who use to come to the house like all the time. I had not notice her friend because as we were walking I was answering a text on my phone. My daughter says mom look at rosemary, I turn to look at her friend with her mouth open and staring at me. She tells my daughter omg that's not your mom, my daughter says yes it is she is like OMG and jumps up and hugs me and says she couldn't even recognize me...at that moment I felt on top of the world...and while we were walking away she texted my daughter to say omg you mom looks hot :) I wanted to cry was so happy to hear ands see my daughters friend.

Today I actually fit into all the 14's I tried on! I didn't buy any of them because why would I if they're going to be too big in a month. While shopping I tried on some 12's and I got into them, too! Of course I looked like an over stuffed sausage but I DID get into them. So that's what I bought - two pair of slacks, sz12. I bet I'll be wearing them by Thanksgiving! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I have not been a sz12 since 1985! Picture me, grinning from ear to ear! :-)

      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.
