I have a huge pile in my closet, but I haven't been brave enough to pass them on just yet. jj

I have been giving mine away in selective batches by how much I liked to wear them. Nonfavorites were given away first; then successive groupings based on how much I wore them. Come to find out, the last batch had several I really need to toss anyway. lol!

BTW. Wore my first pair of size 36 jeans in 13 years to the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival this past Saturday. Sweat like a dawg because it was so hot but TOTALLY worth it!

That is so awesome! It feels great to wear smaller clothes for sure! I am wearing size 16 jeans that I havent worn in years. Looking forward to dropping 6 more pounds and being under 200 for the first time in 20 years!

If any of y'all want to send those clothes my way I wouldn't object. Lol i can't imagine having big bags of clothes to give away. It was very hard to find clothes size 34 that didn't look like tents or have butterflies print or something else that looked like an old lady would wear to Wednesday night bingo. So i just really haven't shopped for clothes in a long time.

Preop weight 389 current weight 301...that's 88 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I am struggling a little. I feel great with my weight loss so far, and I know I have so much more to lose, but I have been falling back into old habits. I am not dumping. :( I guess that's good and bad. I have found myself eating things like pretzels and crackers instead of my Protein. Protein just doesn't sit as well in my pouch. I also am not exercising as much as I should because I am staying so busy with life.... any suggestions?

Mel. it sounds silly but i put post notes on the fridge etc. with questions like " are you really hungry? " also i never take food out of the kitchen.

I know what your hoing through, also DONT buy Snacks that you cant or shouldnt eat. if the family snacks fine but see if they can hide it from you :-) or put a short term ban on tjem intil you are in a better frame of mind.

PS soy nuts or Kosher salted eddamame rocks. high protien low fat just have to watch the sodium. they satisfy that crunchy need.

Hope this helps

RJ

Hey! I remind myself how much the surgery costs and remember the last hurl when I start having a week moment. That usually does the trick.

Same here. :( I also notice when I get stressed I want to nibble again. I don't have many Snacks at home that I like so that helps me out. But being back at school makes it difficult for me to get my exercising in on a daily basis.

I just don't over do it.

      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.
