LOL! Ain't it a wonderful feeling? I am finding now that I can't find many things in a SMALL enough size to fit. Many shirts start out at LARGE and I need a medium for most of them.

I haven't tried the store clothes yet! Isn't that weird. I was so used to buying everything from Lane Bryant or Roamans catalogues. All these years of catalogue shopping. I still have the mindset that nothing is going to fit me in the store! hehehe. . . Now I use what doesn't fit my daughter anymore or the smaller clothes I had saved as I was getting fatter. . and that does pretty good. . . i did buy 1 new uniform from the uniform store though and that was neat. . . PS: I hate shopping and try by all means to avoid it! Ugh

      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.
