I went shopping today and I can now fit in a size 38 waist for men. In most regular stores 38 is sometimes the biggest size but I'm fine with that. At least I no longer have to go on a mad hunt searching for who sales waist 44 pants

A couple weeks ago I tried on a size 8 shorts and cried in the dressing room when they fit. It's been at least 10 years since I could wear a size 8. I love looking at medium shirts and dresses and thinking "I can wear that!"

Makes all the hard work so worth it!

I went to rainbow, just to get an outfit for the night and saw some size 14 jeans. Now people who shop at rainbow know their clothes run a bit small! I've never been a size 14 in my adult life. When I pulled them up I knew I had to buy them!

Enjoy this journey! It's simply amazing. Is it easy- no but well worth it! I'm down 96lbs since my surgery 3.5 months ago. Best thing I've ever ever done (well minus my husband and kids). The confidence I have now- huge! I have bones in my body that I didn't know existed- well at least not for the past 8 years! Haha. But seriously soak this process in and enjoy the ride! :)

Clearance racks when dropping sizes are addictive.

      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.
