Thank you!!!!

Thank you all! It really has been an amazing week for me, discovering I am no longer "plus sized". For all of you still waiting for that day, it will come and I look forward to reading your posts as well. I feel energized and jazzed to keep up the fight knowing I have conquered one of my biggest demons now. My next one will be getting to onederland!

Congratulations! Isn't that a wonderful feeling?!

The first time I fit into normal size clothing I thought it was a fluke, so I changed stores and went to a store that caters to younger people. No fluke, I fit into normal size's!!

I tried on 3-4 brands just to be sure. All but one fit, so that's as good as it gets for me.

I'm so excited for you. I started the exact same weight as you as well as being 3lbs over date of surgery weight as you. I'm only 4 months out but you are my inspiration!

Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

you will get there! I didn't really believe I would even though everyone was like "oh yeah, you'll make it". I had failed so many diets I had to actually staple extra pages to my survey at the surgeon's office documenting my efforts to qualify for surgery. To actually be "normal sized" it's like a dream. Now I can't stop shopping! post-258512-14736554061945_thumb.jpg this is a dress I bought yesterday. Still a little tight and it was a L, but in a month or so it'll be falling off. Ignore the pants, I was too lazy to take them off. Haha

I've got 3 months til my 1yr surgiversary. I'm hoping I can hit 199 by then if I work hard enough. It's my fantasy goal. If I don't make it, Imm not gonna cry, but I'm aiming for it to see if I can make it happen.

You do know my dear, that you've already hit your goal, right? That picture of the smiling woman wearing regular sized clothes is the epitome of success. Congrats once more. :)

      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.
