I brought down my summer cloths to swap out my winter cloths here in Michigan.

I found some Capri's that I wore last summer that were to big. Now yes they tie, so I could have

looked like I was wearing a potato sack this summer , but,,,,, I don't think so.

So I dug a little deeper in my box, and found summer cloths from when I lost weight the first time.

I'm glad I kept all of them. I went from a size 32 to a 22/24. Now some people are starting at where I ended up.

But what a difference in looks, and nice colors instead of Black, Grey, and Navy.

I found Yellows, Mint, Khaki, and well you get the idea. They look nice.

Just thought I would share the good news instead of vent.

Congratulations on the bright colored clothes! I'm looking forward to being excited daily about what I get to wear instead of dreading to get dressed.

My surgeon, Dr. Machado with Sacramento Bariatric Associates, hosts a monthly support group. One of the things they have is a clothing exchange. The clothes that are too big for you now might fit someone else during their journey. I wonder if there is something like that online? That sure would be great! They also have a Protein exchange. Since everybody has different tastes, what doesn't work for you might work for someone else.

Anyway, enjoy Spring in all of your pretty Spring colors! You have earned it!:welldone:

Thank You very much gMommy. I'm looking forward to a change. So yes I imagine it to be nice, but I still don't believe it.

It's hard for me to ever see the real weight loss, it looks like a dream to me. I know it's real, I can tell by the sizes, but I just don't feel it.

Maybe when I wear it this summer it will click.:rolleyes: But for now in Michigan we are under white out conditions, with 4 - 8" of snow.....

So I guess I'm not thinking much about it.

I don't know of a site were cloths can be swapped for other sizes. But it is a very good idea.

Shirley.

      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.
