I tried on a dress at Anne Taylor and the XXL was too big on me. The did not have any XL or Large and the Medium was way too small, but I was like, wow. I can wear stuff in this store lol.

I am about a 16 and it's hard to not buy huge tops. Weird dressing this new smaller version of myself when at top weight was a 26/28.

Feels damn good.

Way to go. I totally know this feeling. About two weeks ago I was able to put on a pair of jeans out of American Eagle. Was totally in shock. First time in my adult life I was basically free to shop wherever I want to for clothing with no restrictions. In less than 16 months I've gone from a 5XLT to an XLT and from a 58/56 waist to a 38 waist. Its by far an amazing experience to be a part of. To have your body change so drastically in the good way too I might add.

Lord have mercy! When I hit a size 14 my credit card bills said "stop the madness!!!"

I literally shop til I drop with no regard to finance same as I was eating. I've realized this and going back to basics with both eating and spending habits, practicing some discipline and awareness instead of the gratification of instantaneous feel goods like the caveman inside of me running rampant with a credit card and Starbucks frappaccinos hand in hand

Congrats! It is the absolute best feeling. The only problem is I'm spending so much money. Hahaha. But man does it feel good! I've gone tanning too. Haha

It's a great feeling. I'm 10.5 weeks out and I've gone from a tight 20 to a loose 16. It's a great feeling.

      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.
