Ohhh I so needed to read all these funny and inspiring comments! Love this thread! =) I am in 24's right now BUT they are getting loose since being on my pre-op diet! Woo hoo! I am tired of wearin sweats and t shirts and hiding from all the pics. I too am always taking pics of my hubs with the kids bc I am too embarrassed to be in the pics. Cannot wait to be down into some smaller sizes so I can shop comfortably. I actually think I forgot how to shop for myself,its crazy! The only clothes I buy are baby and husband clothing! Can't wait to buy a bra from Victoria's Secret,ha! =))

I can really relate to what you're saying. I hated shopping before surgery because I felt so huge and so fat that nothing fit right. I even cried in a dressing room a few times. I was a tight size 22W and refused to buy 24s.

Now... fast forward 5.5 months later and guess what??? Not only do I LOVE shopping and trying on clothes but I've become a clothes SNOB!! I used to buy whatever fit and looked decent. Now I only want Ralph Lauren (which I wear most of the time), Michael Kors, or Calvin Klein. I have to wear an XL top or sweater in RL and a size 18 skirt, where other brands I can wear a Large and size 16 bottom, but I don't even care. I love my name brand designer clothes. I never thought I would turn into a high-maintenance woman but I think I have. Life is funny :)

And yes, you will love shopping too!!!!

I will be happy to NOT be camera shy! SMH My mother hates that I don't want to take photos when the family is together.

I am looking forward to the cute clothing, but I must say I do have some cute pieces now! I will just have more of them Coming Soon!

...is to be able to weigh myself on the house scale. I haven't been able to weigh myself at home or at the drs office in years. I now once i make it to 350 I have met a major goal of mine. I've always been a chunky girl and dressed my weight well I never focused on my weight!

I can't wait to fit into a size 7 Levi 501 and 550 jeans. I was a size 7/8 prior to my 3rd child 9 years ago and I would love to wear them again. I will settle for a size 9/10 also. Oh how I loved Levi jeans. I wouldn't dare put on a pare right now. Great post.

      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.
