Recommended Posts

I put on a pair of pj bottoms tonight that i havent worn in awhile. And its a good thing that they have a tie string!!! They are huge on me now :lol: Before my thighs would be kinda tight in them, now they look like they are goucho pants :rolleyes: . I have it in my mind that I will have to go and out and buy regular clothes, but I seem to have forgotten that I will need to buy pj's, underware, bra's and a whole bunch of stuff once I get to the point where they just wont stay up any longer (even with a draw string) :lol:

There are a few pair of my pj's that I will be extremely bummed about because they are so comfy now that they are worn in ;)

There is not a stitch of apparel in my house that I wouldn't be willing to part with in order to buy garments in non plus sized clothing stores. That goes for pj's and undies and bras... Victoria's Secret, here I come!!!

lol :D

Yep, I have kinda gone alittle nutty with the Victoria Sercret shopping. Just got a coupon in the mail for a free pair of undies, ended up coming home with 6 pairs :). It feels so good to be able to shop there again.

I had a bunch of satin Victoria's Secret stashed away that were still in good shape, but my cotton undies are ridiculous on me- saggy butt! It makes me laugh though, so I still sometimes wear them :)

I have mourned for my favorite t-shirt and Everlast yoga pants. It makes me so sad to get rid of them for some reason, even though they literally fall off of me. I have yet to find an equally awesome pair in my new size.

I'm not emotionally connected to anything plus sized. I did hang onto a couple of favorite t-shirts that I wear as nightgowns now. Salvation Army is a great place to get transitional clothes. Of course, I wouldn't buy underwear there...eww, that's just gross!! But I've gotten some really nice things there at very low prices.

It's a great problem to have! I think of it this way...all the money I'm saving on the food I'm NOT eating can be spent on new clothes! And this is a great time of year to shop! Summer clearance sales paired with back-to-school sales, you can get some really killer deals! Happy shopping! :)

I intend to get most of my transitional clothes from op shops/thrift stores (not undies or bras!), and only splurge out on the good stuff once I'm at my goal weight :D

Girl....... I LIKE the way you think! lol

I'll have to remember this when the shopping starts... this kind of logic should help get me out of the dog house w/ my hubby or at least give him a good chuckle. B)

      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.
