i think i am shrinking



Recommended Posts

yes yes, of course in the good weigh (i know, wrong word, kinda)! but i also think i am getting shorter! no joke. anyone else have this problem? i put on a pair of pants today that are getting pretty dang loose. but today they are also pretty dang longer then they used to be! i wear my pants long anyway, but today they are catching under my shoes far more then they usually do. and these are the shoes i usually wear, so i know its not that. weird...

The looser they get, the longer they will get. You do not have "fluff" holding them out/drawing them up any more! For example, take a shirt in your hands by the side seams and try to stretch it to make it wider...notice it gets shorter too? Same concept - only backwards!

I went from a size 10 shoe to a 9 1/2. I need to go shopping for new sneakers again because my new pair are starting to get loose on me now!

haha I had this conversation with one of my workmates last week as I have noticed the cuffs of a pair of jeans now get caught in the back of my shoes when I walk! I thought I was shrinking also...which isn't good when you are barely over 5ft!

      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.
