12 & 14 clothes needed and deserving



Recommended Posts

It's really hard to believe that just 1 year ago i was 319lbs & down from 355 & 2 weeks post op.

It's an interesting feeling not having spring/summer clothes to pull out and try on to see what still fits you or what you cant wear cause of those winter lbs you gained.

I've gifted most of those clothes to fellow patients as needed. Some have been gifted back and gifted twice.

I have to go shopping for my spring/summer clothes this year which I can't really afford so I am asking that anyone with sizes 12/14 please see what yah got that you can gift to me.

I volunteer and speak at Franklin Square Hospital Center at the Bariatric Institute's Information Sessions telling my story and doing a question and answer session and like to dress up for those it gives more of an effect. When people see you and the thought that you might have had weight loss surgery doesn't even cross their mind and then to see your before and look at you standing their all decked out. It's inspiring so I love to do that. So any dresses spring/summer/cocktail/formal/ evening even or whatever will be most appriceated too. I am working on becomming a self help coach and motivational speaker full time and persuing that full force right now. I have also started Weight Loss Surgery Patients Against Childhood Obesity programs offered to all students 4-24 to avoid or overcome childhood obesity. I promise it would not be going to someone undeserving. I am very passionate and try to do everything I can to help others. Please contact me if you have some clothes to gift. Thanks so much, Laura

      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.
