I just had a non scale victory! I found a t-shirt from high school and tried it on and fit better now than back then! I want to hear some non scale victories from everyone? Sometimes we need to stop focusing on the scale!

I have so many already now i can't choose lol. I think the fact that my boyfriend was holding me in bed tonight and said i felt "different". I asked what he meant and he said i am much smaller now so it felt like he was cradling me in a way. He just couldn't get over it and hadn't noticed how different i felt in his arms until that moment. He was like "i guess I'll have to lose weight now." His self esteem might have taken a little hit but man i felt so tiny. The night ended well lol.

I'm not even 3 weeks post-op yet, but already back into jeans that I haven't been able to wear in about 2-3 years so I'm happy for that! Noticing a lot of my former tight fitting shirts feel normal now and my former comfy shirts are huge on me. My wife also said she noticed a big difference in hugging me now compared to before.

      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.
