Argon's Activities

Mandi,

Happy shopping. I said that I would not buy more clothes for a while. I have many sizes put away and I should be able to get away without having to buy some. I did buy something to wear to a wedding I'm going to next weekend, and of course another pair of shoes.

How many of you are like me? I hated (still hate) shopping for clothes but shoes, that's a different story. I must have bought about 10 pair of sandles this summer!!!! The ones I wear the most, a pair of flip flops I bought at Walmart, not Walgreens!!

Oh.... same with me! I HATE shopping for clothes. If I go into a store that I know has nothing for me, I automatically go for things like bags or purses... or shoes. I can't wait to be able to find things in my size at almost any store. How great would that be?!

I've got a problem in the foot department, too. My feet are big, wide and boney. I take a 10 and a half, and very often I can't find shoes in my size. They are all sold out or they are all ugly. I've taken to calling my foot size "drag-queen size." Winner's doesn't stock many cute shoes that are larger than 9. Just like they want to punish us with ugly clothes when we are fat, they want to punish us big-foots!

I too have big feet. 9.5 if I can find it... last 'running' shoes I bought were 10's. Ugg... I feel your pain.

So... Moncton went ok. I couldn't find ONE pair of pants in a size 20! (at old navy) I could have tried an 18, but that's just setting myself up for disappointment. BUT ... I got this cream coloured v-neck sweater and 2 super thin tank tops for underneath. It was an XXL, and still a little tight for me to comfortably wear in public. Those sizes are MESSED up. I'm hoping by the time it's actually cool enough to wear something like that, I'll fit it better! Maybe I'll take some pictures for you guys!

It's always fun buying new clothes. For the last number of years I've been having to buy mine in bigger and bigger sizes and that hasn't been as much fun. And it is harder finding nice clothes in nice fabrics at size big. I am glad you got the sweater and the tank top in Moncton. It's great that they are only XXL. Congratulations! You should be feeling good about yourself. Do you ever shop at Cotton Ginny? That store has been saving my ass for years now.

loreily, thank you!

Wheezy, I know, I know.. I should have tried some 18's, but I'm so used to disappointment in trying on clothes, I just didn't want it again!!! It says 59, but it's really 58.6!

I've got to lose 1.8lbs a week for the next 14 weeks to be 200lbs by Xmas!

      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.
