Am I the only one

Am I the only one that has this problem?

When i workout(run) and then put on regular clothes the thighs of my jeans are so tight that I almost can't get them on. The problem almost discourages me from working out or from wearing any kind of clothes that aren't stretchy. My husband doesn't understand, he just keeps telling to keep it up and it should go away. The only way it goes way is if i stop doing any kind of exercise, then of course my jeans are so loose I have to go get new ones. So now I have a pair of new ones a size smaller and can't get into them because I'm back to exercising.

Sounds like you need to explore a few different types of fit in Jeans. There are only about a million out there. I haven't noticed this but I only walk......

You know, if you consistently lose weight while exercising, it could be that your jeans just fit like new every time. I mean, if you stay the same weight, eventually, the material of the jeans stretches and stretches and becomes loose. So maybe as you're losing weight, the material doesn't get a chance to stretch at all. What might be good is working out, and then going shopping for jeans.

Muscles retain Water in order to heal which is what makes your jeans tight. It should pass in a day or so. The more water you are able to drink the faster it will relent.

      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.
