Losing lbs = Losing Clothes



Recommended Posts

Hey there,

Steph here, wondering if there are any ladies out there looking to swap or get rid of clothes that they no longer fit in. I just got rid of all of my larger clothes to my sister-in-law, and am in need of clothes that actually fit. Until I reach goal, I don't feel investing in a new wardrobe would be financially beneficial.

If anyone out there is interested, please feel free to email me: WishUponABand@Live.com

I am currently wearing size 20 pants, and probobly large to extra large tops. I've never done this before, so just let me know if you are interested and we can review details via email.

Thanks so much!

Have a great night!

Steph

If you don't get any responses - I'm suggesting you try thrift stores - that's what i plan to do on my way "down" (surgery july 5) - no way i'm spending a bunch of money on clothes that soon won't fit - but thrift stores often have new or almost new clothes and no one would ever know that's where you got the clothes - best of luck!

Thrift stores are a great way to go (I shop there all the time!) but I am also raiding my "skinny" friend's closets, with the promise to give it back when it gets "too big" :)

Good

      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.
