Thank you for being brave and posting your beautiful pictures. They have given me so much hope. I am one week post op from sleeve and beginning to look like a Mrs. potatoes head. My face is slimming down. I notice my wrist and feet look slimmer. And then I see the blob of my stomach. I look strange. :) I am excited about this journey but this thread has helped me keep my eye on the prize as I have my endless supply of Protein Shakes and faith that my body is doing the work. Thank you.

Okay, so I decided to rummage through some clothes upstairs. pardon the mess, but I’ve got a whole room full of clothes that are in stages: too large, but it’s not the right season to try to sell to consignment store, clothes that the store wouldn’t take and are being processed out for giving to friends, family or goodwill store, clothes that I’ve had for ages in storage that are about to fit me.
Then I came across this pair of jeans I ordered off of eBay last month and when I got them they were a half size too tight.
Well I tried them on again and they (mostly) fit.
They’re really tight across the hips (one of my problem areas) but by this time next month they should be fairly comfy.

I wouldn’t say that they’re an outfit that makes me feel good today, but maybe by September 1st, I’ll be able to sit down in them and also be able to breathe. 🤣🤣🤣

Who told you those are too tight ?? Who told you THOSE hips were a problem???

NOPE they fit like a glove

Alright i think everyone needs to practice these affirmations:

I am gorgeous right now

I have a perfect figure right now

I will buy clothes in my true size right noe

I will drink Matcha or coffee right now so Greentealael can live vicariously through me

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol. Okay okay.
Honestly I’ve always worn baggy clothes to “hide” fatness (yeah, not possible, but that was my logic).

Then WLS and things really got loose.
It feels really really weird to wear clothes that aren’t bagging off of my body and I guess I’m going to have to get used to it when things fit “more snugly” than I’m used to.

I’m going to have to get over the feeling of “if my waistband digs into my waist when I sit down” and associate that feeling with wearing clothes In my actual size rather than associate that feeling with “omg, I gained 5 pounds this month!”

The former will be a good feeling, the latter is something I’ve felt shamed by most of my adult life.

I think for that reason it’s been tough for me to buy things that fit me, fit me.
Ya know?

I got a new dress, it is crazy comfortable. Ignore my tank top under it, I was just trying it on! ...upon further notice I can see my tank is all bunched up underneath lol.

Being feminine is not my strong suit.

      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.
