Well, I just got news this morning my wonderful mother inlaw is sending me some money for Christmas since I have lost enough weight to change pants and shirt sizes. So, While doing laundry today, I decided to go through my pants draw so see what all I needed. Little did I know, I was going to be making a trip to goodwill today. I had about 10 pairs of pants in my draw. They ranged from sizes 22 to 28. I knew right off the 28s would be to big but wasn't sure about the 24s. So, I try them on and they were too big, but they were my comfy pants last winter. Then I saw some 22s in the VERY bottom. I went ahead and tried them on, thought, well they wont fit but I will be able to fit into them (hopefully) by the end of this winter. Over the thighs, no problem, over the hips, easy, around the stomach, just like I had butter on my belly, buttoning them, didn't have to suck my belly in one little bit. OH YEAH, THEY FIT. I am so excited and proud of myself.

So, anyone out there that is having problems not losing (what they consider enough). Don't worry, I started off slowly and now I am steady with my weight loss and have dropped a total of 2 pant sizes. It WILL come off, you just gotta give it time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!

My day started off miserable, but you brightened up my day. You made me smile. I am 4 months out on my band and have lost 36 lbs and went from 22 to 16 and fixing to go down another size. It is great, trying on those pants that you don't think will fit, and low and behold they DO. Incredible feeling.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too and I hope you have a great new next slim year.

Pam

      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.
