White House Black Market has the best skinny jeans in my opinion (at least on me). If you don't have one, I'd try buying a pair online. They fit perfectly!

That's awesome!!! Congrats!! Right now to me that seems like a dream....;).

You're a November girl right? I was a November girl last year .. It took me a year to get to this point.

Just think this time next year, you will be right where I'm at. Trust me, this year has flown by too!

Yes, Nov 1st!! Thanks for the encouraging words. For now I will lay on the bed and suck in my gut and wait for my size 12 jeans to fit nicely! ;)

Size 12? Oh you might of started smaller than me! I started as a size 20/22 and one pair of pants was a 24 also (yikes) pant.. I wear an average of an 8 juniors jeans now :) Girl you might disappear in a year!

I'm only 5'5"…but the lowest I remember getting into is a 10. Like, 25 years ago.

I am really interested to see what happens with me. Our stats are similar, I wore an 18 prior to surgery. But it sounds like I have a LOT of weight to get through between sizes.

You will find that sizing has really changed. I have older jeans in my closet (that I need to get rid of because that are out of fashion) that are 10 and I fit into those. So depending on the decade I'm a size 10 and now an 8... and let's not forget most every jean is made with stretch now! If I wanted to stuff my azz into a 6 I probably could..but I'm a comfort ***** not a sausage :P

Haha disappear, not. I started my journey on 7/29 at 250lb! I am 5'5. I thought I was 5'5 1/2 LOSER!! Anyway day of surgery 216 and today 200. I tried on an old pair of Eddie Bauer jeans (Yuck) and they were a size 12!! They fit but were a tad bit snug. It's ok. I hate those jeans anyway. Good excuse to buy new ones.

      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.
