Weighed in at 396. Found myself wearing jeans after 3 years using sweats. my wife is making fun because it looks like cats and dogs fighting in the back of my pants, because its so empty with space. lol. she's telling to buy some new clothes, but im so cheap, i actually still have the clothes from when i was 22. i just turned 39. SMH. yeah. i have clothes that are still 17 years old. but im still super happy im getting down so quickly.

And I am now a 20 going into an 18 soon,224 pounds after 8 months, I have not been This Small since I delivered Tomkitten, my son, and he will be 40 on June 12th, I actually have dress slacks that fall off my body, I am No LONGER in the largest size at Wal-Mart and other stores, and the smaller I get the more plentiful the selection of styles. And I have revenge on my Late Husband, who I call the Late Lamented or Dear Departed on here, he preferred me in subsided colors or black/navy blue, guess he thought my weight would. look less obvious, well I now have 2 pair of size 20 floral print dress slacks, a pair of pale orange sherbet and seafoam green and spectators tell me I have lost weight and they look fine. After years of Sir MixALot and Baby Got Back this chich is merely rounded and flattening nicely. My looks have changed facially,i have gone from round chubby to lean, angular and high cheekbones, don't know what relative I will end up looking like but I sure don't Look like ME! But It Is All Good, and I rather enjoy it all.

@cristobal

you are doing soooooo great!!

as far as being Mr. Cheap!!😉 - check out thrift shops et al, not too expensive

as you loose weight, you NEED/must buy new clothes - otherwise they will fall

off you!! Sight for sore eyes🤣. (never know when/where the clothes police are lurking)!!

Be happy that you need new clothes, shows that you are getting smaller and smaller

We will be seeing less and less of you by your 40th b'day - great present!!

keep up the great job while your weight goes down

continued good luck

kathy

congrats

Hey, I know the feeling! All of my clothes now hang off me like sacks, and I have worn out the one pair of leggings that I had until holes came in the crotch area of them, LOL. I finally broke down and bought a couple new pairs of leggings, but I don't really intend to buy much else until I've lost even more weight.

I will just have to deal with the clothes being two to three sizes too big or more. [emoji14]

      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.
