So I had to go buy some new bras today . . . it was getting pretty sad trying to make the old ones make due . . . but . . . the surprise came 1) that I could get some in a store instead of special ordering them, and 2) that I went from a 54C to a 48DD . . . OMG where the hell did THAT come from! LOL . . . So Lane Bryant has "buy 2 and get 2 free", so I bought 2 I can wear now - and two in a smaller size . . . I'm planning ahead! lol

And then . . .on the way out of the mall . . .I bought 2 rings with opals (my birthstone) and tanzanite (from the S. Africa mine - not Iraq/Iran) . . . and my pinky fingers are happy . . . until I lose more weight and start moving the rings to other fingers :)

and YEA Chargers (for those of you who follow football!)

WOW! Congrats!

I did the bra gig about 2 weeks after my surgery. I'm down from a 46DD to a 42 C or D depending on the cut.

Isn't it fun to get new stuff?

I got a great right hand diamond ring for Christmas and was going to go get it resized (from a 7 to an 8) and decided not to... I'm going to wear that ring in a few months!!!!! I'm in need of finding one of those plastic ring guards thingies for my wedding band and engagement ring. I have a TON of jewelry that I'm going to have to either resize or... wear on different fingers!

Anybody else having shoe issues? I have lost a lot of weight in my feet already and have a fantastic wardrobe of shoes (I work VERY near the Zappos.com warehouse/distribution center/store and have some FABULOUS shoes!). Betsey Johnson, Christian LaCroix, Dolce & Gabbanna, OH MY! I have even contemplated stuffing the toes!!!

Julie,

Yes, I'm having foot issues. Why is it the only place I can see any difference is in my shoes and my rings???? I sort of did this banding for a WHOLE different weight loss! j/k

It is great that we are seeing results in one month! I know that with any other "solution" I would already have been gaining it all back by now.

Way to go everyone! Keep up the great work

Steph

I have the foot issues too . . .I had ordered some 10WW's online . . . and went to wear one pair after Christmas . . . and kept walking out of them . . . they are history for me :rofl:. I don't have many shoes . . . but maybe I'll be able to go buy regular ones soon . . . and I would LOVE to be close to Zappos!

      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.
