My daughter took 3 pairs of jeans from me this weekend..that only gave me a couple pairs of pants left...I begged my hubby to take me to the store to get some smaller jeans so that I would be prepared for the next size down...He did...I bought all 14-16 pants...

Today for fun I put one of the pair of 16 brown cords on and they FIT....with no compression garment either...I hardly ever wear them at home....Lets see...gone from a 6 X to a 15-16...hmmmm.....okay I'mm totally stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! That's gotta feel good!

I'm on the verge of not having any jeans that fit...in a good way for a change! No larger sizes for this gal!

On another note, are you feeling better? I hope all is well.

I have jeans in the closet but refuse to check for another two weeks since I was significantly smaller when the fit. THat is the one piece of clothing that I can't wait to buy! A nice pair of size 10...maybe even an 8 Silver brand name jeans with all the bling on the bum! LOL! Enjoy your much smaller cords! Great job!

RJ, I am so glad to hear that you may have licked the pneumonia. I like that your docs are being extra careful with you (as they should). And a size 16! That's great.

I made it to a size 18 today, so keep on keeping on! I'm right behind you.

RJ you've come such a long way with much success. Congrats. Now don't make the mistake made. I hadn't worn a size 16 in 20 years and was thrilled. I got lazy and stopped losing weight. Went into a maintenance mode of eating. Did a great job not gaining any weight for a year. Now I am in year 3 and I want to lose more and its much much harder. So enjoy those 16s u deserve your atta a girl. But keep pushing while the pushing is good. I wish someone had told me that two years ago.

Oh thank you for your advice....I know that I am not there yet and plan..oh I really plan to get there..I so want to know just how small I am going to end up being...Maybe I will be so small that I will disappear into the sunset....Here's hoping....lol

I appreciate the vets point of view very much...Your a doll for sharing.... :)

      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.
