OMG-- this stubborn BELLY!



Recommended Posts

My goodness.... I have lost so much weight, and most of my old clothes are fitting me. However they all look so different, because even though I am at the same weight I was years ago when I bought these clothes, this weight from the stomach fat was elsewhere back then! My belly is so mushy lol. It is like a balloon filled with pudding. Lol. I guess I am gonna have to keep wearing shapers and hope it gets better

I am also stuck with wearing shapers. If you are looking for quality shapers without a huge price tag I found a bunch at a Maidenform outlet on clearance for only $9.99 each. The non clearance ones are also on sale at 40% off. Woohoo! I just replaced all of my old ones with newer snugger ones.

My one fear is how hot it is going to be this summer wearing a second skin.

Thanks! I've always liked maidenform. Will definitely check them out!

And I so hear ya with the summer heat. I'm in Florida, so for me, I already always have a certain degree of heat lol, unless I stay indoors. That's one of my troubles with shapers. To me, they annoying in the least amount of heat.

      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.
