Anyone Love Shopping Now?



Recommended Posts

I remember hating to go shopping. Nothing ever fit right and just cause i was a big girl didnt mean i was old. i hated the lights in the dressing room cuz i would sweat so bad. I could never find anything and i would go home depressed. well it is so nice to just pick up something and not to have to even try it on, cuz i know it will fit. i love that i can find stuff so much cheaper too. Now my only problem is keeping my teenage daughters out of my closet. i actually luv shopping now my pocket book may not agree but it is so worth it!

Heck, yeah! It's so much fun to walk into ANY shop and find stuff I can wear and enjoy wearing! Re the impact on the pocketbook (purse), I have had plenty of great bargains in opportunity (thrift/goodwill) shops. It's mostly a matter of luck/timing to be there when some good stuff is available but I have gotten heaps of new clothes, still with tags on, at opp shop prices! Now it is just my wardrobe that is suffering from the weight of all my new clothes.

Just realised that I used to have minimal quantity of clothes - would wear the same things over and over. Now I want to wear something different every day, just cos I can! :P

I was an online and catalog shopper pre band.... I hated shopping, paying high prices for fat clothes and the overall experience.

Now.... I love finding bargains , finding clothes in consignment stores that fit and standing in my closet looking at a wonderful selection. ;)

Oh yeah ! shopping is waaay more fun now ! Im a diehard 2nd hand store shopper, im at Goodwill once a week and finding great stuff ! My wardrobe is 90% 2nd hand, and im always getting compliments on my cute stuff ! (And cheap too !) Im picky about what i wear, it has to be in excellent shape, no stains or missing items, and it has to fit well too. i love a bargain !

      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.
