the shirt too small...



Recommended Posts

Don't we all have one? I have this awesome tan button up shirt, cut in at the waist, very clean fitting and tailored. I would try this shirt on randomly through the last couple of years watching it slowiing slip away from being able to button it, much less being able to wear it. So..there it hang...in the very back of the closet.."maybe one day I will fit into it again", I would say.

That day would be Sunday, this past weekend. Looking for church attire, Wanting something to fit my new in transition body, I searched for anything to wear, and there it was. "Oh why not try?", I thought to myself. Yep, it fit. another small thing will a huge impact. My old "new" shirt made me happy. I wish all of you old "new" shirts. Keep up the good work!:tongue:

That is a great feeling. But, unfortunately, soon you will be unable to wear it again as it gets TOO BIG!! I had that happen with some favorites. You will find plenty of new favorites for the new you.

I have a dress in the closet, that I never wore. It is about five years old, but brand new! LOL.

I want to fit into it!!!!!

Not sure I will ever wear it once it fits, as I'm not sure, I'll still like the style after all this time. But I am keeping it until it does fit and then I hope it eventually gets too big.

I'll be sure to post, if I get into one day!

Oooh - I had one!! It was a white button down shirt that my sister bought me over 3 years ago for my birthday. It never fit.

I put it on last Sunday to wear to church and it finally fit!! Not tugging over my chest or nothing!! And, wouldn't you know it, the top button popped off before I left the house so I didn't actually get to where it :frown:

I'm with you Kristen. If it weren't for the non-scale victories, I wouldn't know that I had lost an once. I never really saw myself as being that big (even at 277lbs) except in pictures, so I guess it is only fitting that I can't really see the loss. It kinda worries me though, I have lost 102 lbs now, how much will I lose before I can see it? Will I be satisfied when I reach my goal? I hope so.

By the way, there is a thread in this forum for non-scale victories and it would be great if some of you shared your stories there too. They are inspirational!

      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.
