Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

My hubby took me to the store yesterday because I needed a spring jacket. A wind breaker..Anyway he kept bringing me size large jackets and they were too big...Finally he said..I just can't believe this your a medium jacket...I said, obviously in this style at least..

Shaking his head he said he never expected any of these things to happen and the fact that I take a smaller size jacket then him, has just floored him.....

I love it when he is shocked at the new me emerging!!! :)

I totally get the idea. I bought two pair of size 20 "skinny" jeans off of a friend. I thought " I will just put them back until they fit". No way those little things would fit me. Well one pair fits nicely and the other is slightly BIG! Ok, I realize a size 20 is not small...but when you come from a size 28 it is. ( esp. since I haven' t hit 18/20 in about 15+ years!) It is crazy. I still gravitate towards the larger sizes forgetting that I don't need them anymore. That is so awesome for you RJ, you are now his "little woman"!!! LOL

RJ I was tickled pink when I ordered a pair of 18/20 capris from Walmart and they FIT! Seriously, it won't be too long until I am out of plus size which totally BLOWS MY MIND! Of course the down side is how fast I need new clothes and my budget isn't cooperating....LOL

I think for me it has kinda gotten out of control. I had gotten clothes up to 2 sizes smaller before I reached those sizes. I just bought what I liked or loved...Any way there are ways of collecting clothes at reasonable prices......

I remember the day they told me at Pennington's that they no longer had clothes that fit me. That I would have to go elsewhere... I just looked stunned because I was in the biggest size they had at the time and was wondering where I would get clothes to fit me soon..That was so scary....

I kept a couple of shirts. In fact the one I wore to the seminar......It is my badge of honor and some day I will post a pic. of me in it......:)

      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.
