Things I never thought I would say



Recommended Posts

Sure is hard to buy clothes now. ANy where from a 32-36 depending on who makes it. Very true about the belt. They say you should go up a size and have notice it is usally to large. Even notice my feet are smaller also.

I will also add that shopping has become a unique experience. Before the band...I hated it.. I knew nothing would fit right and I would look like a blob. Now I go in a just pick stuff up. I wear a medium shirt now and I am just about in a 34 pants size. I can wear the expandable ones fine, and the regular just about fit, they are just snug, part of the reason is all this EXCESS skin! I would rather have the skin than a HUGE fat belly. And my rearend...being a guy hurts to say this, but sags now. It looks like mini blinds. Don't know how much plastic surgery I will be able to afford, but I am at least getting a Tummy Tuck. I bought a compression shirt at target, size small, wish it was a bit tighter, but anyways, does anyone know where I can buy some cheap white compression shirts. Paying 15-17 dollars a piece is out of my price range, I need 7 in total, that would be like 119 dollars plus tax.

P.S. I also have noticed I lost about a shoe size, bought some flip flops the other day...size 9! Wow, I felt small. I am wearing a size 10.5 or a 10 in dress, tranning, a casual shoes.

Thanks.

      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.
