I never thought I'd have this problem



Recommended Posts

Even though I am short, pre-surgery I've always worn a women's xl shirt and dresses. I am going on vacation and ordered some cute dresses and skirts from Athleta in XS and I had to send 2 dresses and a skirt back because they were too big. I guess that would be a NSV :) I am now washing so many of my clothes in hot Water just to get them smaller. Even jeans that I bought a month ago size 26.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend-

I kinds have the same issue. I'm under growing my clothes as fast as I can dig them out. I have an annual event every summer that I would typically buy new clothes for. I would usually start about now buying outfits, getting shoes and accessories, etc.... I can't do that this year.

I guess it's a good thing. :unsure:

So, at what point post-op did you notice the biggest drop in sizes?

Almost immediately. I didn't have a pre-op diet but did lose a lot within those first 2 weeks post op. I was down 26 lbs at my 2 week check up, then down another 6, then down another 15. At that point clothes started hanging off me and I had to go looking for some of the things that were starting to fit me a little snug.

      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.
