I a m appreciating my 10-12 for years now. I understand I could obsess and fight it down to an 8 , but that is not my life now. I spent too many years not liking where I was and fighting myself .

I'm done with that mentality now . I enjoy this size. It feels right and normal to me. I have stayed here for years. I'm thinking this is where my body wants to be, and I'm agreeing with it.

No more internal struggle... Spent a lot of my life in that endless endeavor .

This is me

Coming from 336 lbs. and a size 28 dress/32 pants - the biggest end of most plus size shops, I'll just be glad to be back in the misses department and not have to shop in the women's department anymore. I'm not quite 3 months out from surgery and can't see the end of the road yet. Hell, I can't see around the bend yet.

If I'm being honest, I don't care about the numbers. I just want to be healthy and look good naked. Lol

Size 10 is ideal for me.

I try not to look at the size but how it fits. I have iTunes with dresses anyway. Because I'm still voluptuous it is hard for me to buy a dress. When the top fits, the bottom is too big and when the bottom fits the top is too small.

I'm with Andrea.... I love how I look naked now

I think I'd be thrilled in a 6 and happy in an 8. Dresses can be a challenge because of my breast size though, so I'll probably have to settle at a 10.

      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.
