Yes, this! My jeans and leggings do an amazing job of holding me in.
I use compression garments under dresses only when things look a little jiggly

Have you tried the higher waisted jeans which are now in style and are everywhere thank god?

T-minus 9 hours until I check in......getting super nervous and excited I doubt I’ll sleep tonight

I know...I know....we've all been there. And it's important to be patient with newer folks and to be empathetic to their frustration.
I'm so wrong for this....but I just want to smack the **** out of them. Which would not be helpful.
I'm sort of re-evaluating the value of habitually reading this board.
It's all starting to loop around and around in this anxious cycle of angsty mental health issue driven repetitive slurry.
I'm starting to identify these stereotypes of posters that repeat over and over....
The Bird....I will not eat over 500 calories because calories are bad.
The Protein Addict....Must never eat carbs again or the world will explode.
The Why Me Whiner....Where's my yellow brick road, Dr. Nowzaradin?
The Documentarian.... Ate one and three quarters blueberries this morning for a total of 4.37687calories.
The Rebel without a Clue.....I ate a whole pizza yesterday just to see if I could cram one in there. I could! I want my money back!
The Pain in the Ass angsty Know It All.....who writes offensive insensitive rants like this one.
The Research Junkie.....sort of like the pain in the ass angsty know it all...but with more links.
The Fat Shamer.....let me endlessly describe how much I hated my fat, and by extension how offputting I find other fat people
The Size Queen.....Can I slip my new pants size into casual conversation?
The Oblivious Question Asker.....Um, I'm two weeks out, can I have chicken McNuggets and a large coke and fries yet?
The Lonely Soul.....Hi, We should be besties. I'm going to write 9/10 posts about how cool I think you are.
The Stuck Veteran....I lost weight ages ago and kept it off, but I still obsess about weight loss daily.
The Message Board Christian.....Lets slip Christ in there, just for the hell of it. Pray for me!
Maybe I just have a shitty attitude today. I'm bored. I'm tired of thinking about weight.
I'm glad I had surgery. A few bumps in the road, but I'm doing really well all things considered. I'm committed to following through.
But I'm so freaking tired of thinking about this.....and having it consume so much of my life.
And equally scared of not being vigilant.
Just kinda....ornery. Sorry.

Good luck kgb281, you're in the countdown to start a new more healthy lifestyle. Relax its gonna be fine. We will be wishing you well,and those of us who believe will be praying for you. Smiles and sunny days ahead.

1 week liquid diet down! Yeah, baby!!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!
I have my hospital pre-op interview on Tuesday and the last surgeon's pre-op visit on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous cuz I haven't received the letter of approval from my insurance company yet. But, the doc's office says they have the approval from the insurance and that's why they were able to move forward? I guess I will call the hospital again on Monday and see if they've gotten the hospital stuff approved. Then will call insurance to see if they can email a copy of my approval letter. Don't know why I'm such a wuss about talking to them.

Two meals a week? Like what?

I'm just wondering, cause my surgeon might need to talk to your surgeon.
I'm on day 5 of 2 week liquid diet and all I can think about is pizza.

Thanks all my bariatric pals!!! My surgery went great and I was sipping easy within an hour of getting to my room! Thank goodness! The only complaint I have is being extremely sore and if you try to take in too much you will not be a happy camper! My advise, take dry mouth spray and as everyone says sip,sip,sip and walk to relieve all that gas. Thanks guys for all your kind words, I am thankful for each and every one of you!!!
