Woot Woot, Down Another Pant Size



Recommended Posts

Woot Woot, down another pant size I am in size 16 I am so excited. I did try on some of my old 14, I could get them fastened but my tummy hung over about 6 inches LOL, so I guess I will have to wait and try them on another day. I know this is not a life changing post but I am happy. Love my band. God bless

I have been feeling the same way. I've lost 15-20 lbs since pre op ( not sure of the difference between my scale and the Dr.s since my old one broke and I had to buy a new one.) But I have lost no inches in my waist. And that is a real downer! :( I just cant bring myself to understand how that's possible?

Please do not be discouraged it took quite a few pounds before I noticed it in my clothes, then it just happened, it will come -keep your chin up. In my country we say “keep your pecker up” pecker means chin. LOL

Congrats! You will notice that from hear on out you will be needing clothes more often. It was weird... for the first 100 I lost I was able to make do with most of my stuff with pins and creative solutions... Since everythng had elastic waists I could take inthe elastic basically. Those clothes were 3 on top and 4x on bottom.

But then when I got into XLs I noticed I started needing clothes sooner thank later but I was losing at the same pace. They say 20 lbs = a dress size... but that never held true when I was fat. But now... OMG is does! In June I was wearing medium tops and 14 bottoms thinking I was skinny as a rail. Ha! 2 months and 20 lbs later some of those mediums are too big and I am wearing sized 10 in pants. Go figure.

Best of luck on your continued journey B)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
