Right after surgery ,I was lucky to stay on the treadmill for 5 minutes , walking 2 MPH.I accidentally pushed the wrong button yesterday and had to run at 4 MPH. It was rough going ,but I did it. I haven't ran for 19 years. My wrist weights I bought to use while I was walking now actually fit around my wrists. Congrats to all of you. Keep up the great work.:smile:

Right after Christmas I was doing some sale shopping with my sister and didn't want to buy anything because I knew it wouldn't fit for long...but at the same time it was depressing not to buy. I was in a 20 at the time and so where did that leave me?

So I found a really good deal on work pants at $13 a pair and HOW DO YOU PASS THOSE UP???? So I tried on a 20, decided that I liked the cut and bought 1 18 and 2 16's. I wore the 18 last week and was feeling pretty good about life. It has been awhile since I have been in an 18. This morning I wanted to see how long it would be before I would be able to wear the 16's because I am running short of pants with only the 1 size 18.....and they ZIPPED! They were still a little snug but no snugger than my 20's were getting when all this started!! I wore a 16!!! I didn't wear them to work but I WILL WEAR THEM NEXT WEEK!!! I'm going to do whatever I have to in order to be in them next week.

16 is my new favorite number!!!!!

I've noticed that difference too - stay awake and alert all day, instead of hitting that wall and practically passing out at around 2-3pm. I think it also has a lot to do with dropping the carbs for lunch. I did notice in previous diets if I didn't eat Pasta or bread for lunch, I didn't hit the wall, but of course I could never give up my yummy lunches and so had that problem almost every day.

I got my favorite pair of pants on and ZIPPED today without doing the pants dance. They still are a little tight but not as tight as the size 20's I was wearing pre-op. I could wear them today but I've gotten used to wearing my pants looser and they were super uncomfortable!

They are a size 18...but not a WOMEN'S 18. Levi's here I come!

My family told me my Walmart "stretch" jeans were just to damn big today . . . so I went and bought an 18-20 and looked and them and said no way will they fit .. .and got home and damn they DO FIT! Then I was trying on some old clothes in my drawers - and I can ALMOST fit in some shirts I had after my hysterectomy . . .and that was 14 years ago! (Can you say I'm a pack rat?) They will be fine . . . and will be gone in a few months I hope - and I will give them away this time. I also bought a 3X Chargers Shirt today. I've NEVER been able to wear 3X teeshirts from anywhere . . . and I have room to spare in it! Yea! I would have bought a 2X but there wasn't one to be found in town today. I'm happy!

      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.
