This week I reached a small milestone in my weight loss. Purchasing regular size clothing. Its been 15 years. This journey is only 3 months tomorrow and I feel my body and my mind change. I don't regret for a minute this decision. 47 pounds and many inches. I got this. What was your first major milestone?

Same as yours! I was sleeved 10/7/13. I went from a 22 to a size 16! I found myself still going in the plus size for 2x then once I try them on I'm like this is way to big. Then walking past mirrors and thinking is that me! My wedding ring slides off my finger and I figured I have a ways to go so I'll wait to get it sized! Congratulations on your journey! I'm at a 41 pound lost.

Congrats. This is taking some adjusting. My 11 year old hugging me all the way around and her hands connecting. People saying I'm getting skinny. Lol. Not yet I have 53 to go!

I was a size 20. I am trying not to purchase to many clothing as I know I am going to lose many more lbs.

I am on this journey to be healthy am happy and this is a great start. Feeling fabulous!

      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.
