No longer "plus size"!



Recommended Posts

That is just fantastic! I forget what it's like to shop in the misses sizes! And I know it's tough to talk about with others, but if they are your friends they will listen and support you ever step of the way! It is a huge milestone CONGRATULATIONS!

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to share that I am officially not plus sized. This was a milestone for me and I'm very excited about it. I bought new clothes last night in the Misses section and it felt so strange. But in a good way!

I've discovered that no one wants to hear about my weight loss, it makes my overweight brother upset because he's still waiting for his band and even skinny people who I thought cared, don't seem interested, so I just tell my lapband friends.

Thanks for listening!

suzanne I am so happy for you! Way to go girl!

It is a weird feeling to be able to move out of the plus sizes. I was so happy when I was able to move back into my petite sizes (i am so short). Congrates!

Rascal76, I haven't gotten in front of the camera at all, but was thinking of taking a "during" picture when I hit my mid-way mark. I'm almost there!

you really should take the picture durning each stage. I look back at the beginning and to where i am now... I never knew how i really looked. What I saw in the mirror was different from the pictures. It was an eye opener and a happy surprise to see where I am now.

YES! we'll be waiting to see them. It's such an inspiration to see everyone's photos. I check the "Before and After" thread every day for new photos!

That was one of my biggest goals for getting banded. I love to shop for clothes now! I buy 2 or 3 outfits at a time at each change in size. I have been boxing up my too big clothes to actually give away. Yes I don't have to save them for when I gain wt. again.

Can you imagine, never, never, never again will we need to shop in those stores!!!

I'm in a petite size 10 now.

Congratulations!!!

      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.
