Size 2? Are you kidding me?



Recommended Posts

10 years ago, I wore size 22-24.

Summer has arrived in TN (where it will last at least until Thanksgiving), and today I bought shorts in size 2. First I tried on size 4 and was puzzled to find them a little...loose...what, loose?!?! Then I tried on size 2, and they fit perfectly.

I've been thrilled with every pound lost, every inch lost, every size lost during my WLS journey, but never, ever did I dream I'd wear a size 2.

That is amazing! Good job! I fit into a size 4 recently, and I have naturally big hips, or so I thought. I felt like I was in some alternate universe. It's pretty cool, right?! Keep up the good work!

Jean, that is so cool!

I have a few size 2s that fit me great -- same reaction here. Can hardly believe the huge changes in my body / life, thanks to WLS and, of course, my own hard work.

Congratulations to you. :)

Feel the same way about getting into a pair of size 12 Lululemon yoga pants (after being a size 22). Not exactly a size 2 (YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!) but the same elated feeling of utter disbelief! Pure joy!

Congratulations - you are an inspiration!

      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.
