I bought two beautiful leather skirts in 2 petite the week after my surgery 50% off from talbots. When they came in they felt really tight so I returned them and got a 4 petite. It's now been 5 weeks and my swelling is way down. I tried them back on today and the 4 is too big. Makes me sad that they have to go back again but I am not going to pay to alter them. I should have stuck with my gut on the 2. On a positive note, the double zero lucky brand jeans look smoking hot on my new tiny body. I can't get over the difference 7 lbs made in clothing size. I was an 8 or 6 petite before my lbl.

Congrats! I am jealous! I did the abdominoplasty first and am doing the back part of the LBL in March. I would LOVE if my insurance paid for 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.
