It happens to me constantly. Most of the time, when I select something to try on, it's too big. Even underwear is too big, lol. I am always searching for a smaller size.

I am still a ways off until I get to where you guys are at but there is one thing that has started to affect me in a negative way already.

For whatever reason, my feet have super deflated. I am guessing it is a combination of weight loss but mainly the fact that I no longer hork tons of salty foods which means there is no excessive bloating. Also the weight loss has given my knees, legs and feet some great relief which also means that they also don't bloat as before.

As a result, all my shoes are starting to feel loose and wide. I am obsessed with shoes and have put in A LOT of money into buying really nice shoes from all over the country and all over the world. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I will not be able to wear my shoes after a few months because they are really starting to loosen up. I also think that maybe I always used to buy shoes that were a size or two bigger than my foot length because my feet are wide due to the weight.

It happens to us ladies plenty. There are lots and lots of size 10 and 12's. Even 8's. But smaller than that become difficult. I wear a 6 in jeans and can be as small as a 2 or 4 in some dresses. Very hard to find those sizes.

      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.
