    @Strivingforbetter I love every second of it. Lol, I had to grab my pant leg to pull my foot up and then tie my shoes. Now I can cross my legs. Lol

    Doesn't it feel so good to take control of your health? I'm feeling so much happier when I look in the mirror, and it feels great to be able to tie my shoes without holding my breath.

    Pre-Op diet isn't easy. I have admitted on here several times I cheated and slipped up during the 2 weeks I was on it. Cheated like going through McDonalds and sitting in the Target parking lot mowing down a Big Mac, Fires, Etc thinking this was the end of the world. It is a short phase and will pass. Stay strong.

    I also started out as a 40D. I think I'm down to a 38 C and steadily shrinking. But I'm ok with it.

    I'm still trying to figure out lunch. I take something different every day. I'm afraid to say specifically what I eat for fear of someone pounding my choices. However, so far, I've steadily lost weight. I just try and take something that's high in protein with veggies on the side. Could be fish, lunch meat and cheeses, leftover chicken, etc.

    I see new people getting surgery every week. There have been some pretty amazing people on here offering advice if you look through the forums. It's no fun being hungry. I found it very helpful to drink a ton of water. I would maybe even find some dense protein to take the edge off. Maybe cottage cheese???

    No, I didn't have success with the pre-op diet and I was miserable and starving the whole time. All it did was convince me I needed surgery. Losing weight without being hungry is amazing.

    It is crazy because I would wear baggy clothes and sweat shirts to hide myself. I could not believe how I looked. I am excited. I used to hate Target because I could not fit the clothes that I liked there. Now I can and I am so happy. Saying goodbye to Ashley Stewarts and Lane Bryant's expensive a$$ $60 shirt (talking about you are paying more for the amount of fabric needed) and hello to $14.99 shirts!!! Lol
    I now have more options at dress barn (my favorite place) and Burlington!!!
