Wow! I've been in a size 18 for maybe five years and yesterday I bought a pair of size 16 Levis "for when I need them" and came home and tried them on just for fun and they FIT GREAT! It makes the unpleasantness of that first week hurt a little bit less. I know it's a shallow thing to Celebrate, but it feels like real progress and just the first step. Now I'm looking forward to buying a pair of size 14s in a few weeks "for when I need them." :)

The Iron in the Vitamins still makes me so sick I want to throw up or pass out, though. I need to change vitamins. :(

Thanks so much! It helps. I did this for health reasons, but the size/appearance certainly is a wonderful bonus!!

      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.
