My 1st WOW moment....



Recommended Posts

It finally happened!! :embaressed_smile: I had a WOW moment. My clothes are getting too big so last night I was trying to find something to wear to church today. In going through my closet I ran across two brand new outfits that I order for Easter two or three years ago. I couldn't make up my mind which one I wanted so I ordered both! When they arrived they were too little and have hung there ever since. I was doubtful that I could wear them but decided to try them on to see if I was even close. Certainly did not want to skip by them and to my amazement they fit!!!! I could not be happier!! Now I just have to hem the pants and sleeves and I have two great outfits to wear. One is really spring/summer but I am going to wear it at least once!! LOL My DH is so proud of me! I also found a suit that had gotten two tight and it was loose! Down 2 sizes Yipeeeeeeee!!!!!! I feel like singing "I'm so excited, I just can't hide it!!!" :cursing:

Hehehe!! Isn´t it such an amazing feeling! I´m also down at least two sizes. I love that I bought some jeans a few months ago and I couldn´t even get the zip up. Now they´re just about hanging off my a$$.

I (heart) my band too. :-))

That is just fabulous! Congratulations!! Now just make sure you get rid of those bigger clothes - box them up, and get them out of your closet. You are going to need room for all the new stuff!

I am so excited for you! I can not wait to get there!!

The only thing that I can see/feel now is the fact that one pair of jeans that I hadn't been able to get into for months are now fitting again. I'm up to two pairs of jeans now!!!! :sneaky::thumbup: (I was getting so sick of wearing/washing all the time) but I had refused to buy any more obese jeans!!!

I've got clothes hanging in there now that range from a size 26 down to a 16 that I was into 6 years ago. (We did Atkins for a year+)

Again, congratulations!!! :smile2:

      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.
