:wink: The smallest I've ever been as an adult, that I can remember, was a size five, and weighed about 120 lbs.--I was pretty smokin', if I do say so myself. :) My doctor freaked out when I told him that I'd love to be in the 120's again--he was suprised that I'd ever been there! :blink: So actually, my first weight goal is 160. I've developed some hormonal issues (hypothyroid and PCOS) plus I've aged, so I may never get to 120 again, and I'm OK with that. Once I get to 160, I figure I will evaluate my overall health and see how hard it was to get to that weight to see what I want to do next. My weight loss has been slow so far, but I can see the shrinkage! :tt1: I know I can be active and feel attractive at 160, so I won't stop till I get there.

I think the smallest I ever was as a child was a 12. Still, I'm almost down to a 6 after my weight loss. Really, unless you have a ton of loose skin that is keeping you from being small, there is nothing stopping you from wearing a small size. I'm living proof of that.

      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.
