Woo-Hoo!!! Hit the 50lb loss mark this morning!!!!

I am so pumped about hitting that milestone.

To top that off - the shorts I just got back into after about 5 years of not being able to squeeze into - are too BIG!

I can wear shorts to work and about a month ago I went through my clothes and donated to local women's shelter anything size 20 or larger (depending on how they fit). I have been wearing 18s and some 16s. This morning I tried on a pair of shorts that a month ago seemed too snug and now they seem really loose! I am going home today and trying on the 16s!!!!

These are the best NSVs ever!

I am almost at the 50 pound mark. Can't weight, I mean wait- LOL. I was trying to figure out how to get clothing without spending much money. It won't be long before my clothing will be way too big as well. A friend gave me 6 bags of clothing. She is a bit smaller and a shopaholic. I feel like a kid in a candy store with a golden ticket! I am so happy for you Thanks for sharing your joy!

@@Debbie623 - golden ticket, yes!

I have clothes that I bought that were marked down to wear to work (industrial environment). I always hoped I would be able to wear and now I have my "golden ticket" and I am shopping!

thanks!

@@proudgrammy - Again thanks.

Womens shelters have a special place in my heart as I have been a resident once with my two kids during Christmas 1993.

      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.
