I think i'm opposite! I KNOW I was huge...I HATE looking at old pics...so embarrassing! My problem now is I don't see that i'm any smaller' date=' b/c for the most part, I am STILL in my same clothes. BUT today at church, I had several people tell me they could tell I had lost weight sooooo...that made me feel some better, but I must say I am beyond ready to go DOWN in clothes size! :unsure:[/quote']

Everybody says the larger clothes sizes don't go down that fast but the smaller you get, the quicker you are out of them. I think larger clothes are made to stretch and are roomy enough to accommodate changes. Also if you were wearing them tight or wearing stretchy clothes, you won't outgrow them as fast.

I have Levi's 18w jeans. They still fit me because they're stretchy. I have Levi's 16 misses jeans. They fit me just fine a little loose. If I put on or lost weight, they would not fit. Plus size clothes are a lot more forgiving.

Just know it's the clothes' fault not yours! :)

      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.
