Fit in 48's today for the first time in years



Recommended Posts

Howdy all. Just had a moment that felt worthwhile of sharing here. About 10 weeks out of my December VSG and just slid on a pair of 48 jeans.

Think its probably the first time I have been wearing 48's in at least the past 5 years.

At my pre-surgery highest weight I was sporting 56's, and 56's with an elastic waist that seemed pretty generous. 2 months later and all those clothes are up on EBay.

Just a waypoint along the way, but those threshold numbers seem to hold a bit of extra meaning. Motivational to think that, after today, it will likely be the last time ever wearing pants in 50 plus sizes.

Thanks for listening :).

      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.
