Little black dress! I bought a little black dress right after my surgery in a size 8, with the goal that someday I would fit into it. I've put it on a couple times, but still can't zip it up comfortably... but its exciting to be so close to something that seemed so unatainable.

Ive had this victory outfit in my mind since I decided to have the surgery; a sexy red top, with a tight short zebra print skirt, and some shiny red pumps. I never wear prints on my bottom because I think it would make it look bigger, but after I lose my excess weight I'd love to wear a print every now and again.

I have several beautiful dresses, most linen that I'm super excited at the thought of wearing again. I also have an adorable pair of BCBG sandals that look like barbie shoes I'll be happy to wear again,

I also look forward to going into a store like Anne Taylor and having things fit my thighs. Not that I want to buy the clothes there, but I want them to fit! =)

Seriously, 3 to 6" heals? Not even when I was thin did I like wearing heals that high. WOW!!! Maybe its the spread across my toes or something, but even 2" heals tend to hurt after a little while. Any sort of "healed" dressy shoe with a wide toe just looks boxy and ugly to me so I tend to stick to the flat or 1" heals. Although the past 2 days I have worn 2" heals, but I must say I take the shoes off first thing I get in the car after work....

My shoes! I have an extensive collection of shoes - most are 3-6 inch heels. I used to wear heels every day until I got sick - I can't wait to wear them again!

My vintage Liz Claiborne (NOT the modern line 'o' garbage) dresses, sized 12 - 14. That woman had style. Maybe this summer? *sigh*

My knees are shot so no heels will ever happen for me. And you might be disappointed. I've lost almost 100 pounds and dropped from a 9w or 9.5m to an 8 or 8.5m in shoe size. I have a massive Clarks collection that will be hitting eBay at some point. I can't even wear them with inserts to try and use some of the room. Ahhh, the price we pay for thin!!! : )

I am over 6' too and I used to shop at a specialised shop called Long tall sally (http://www.longtallsally.com/). Unfortunately I haven't been able to for a very very long time due to my size so I look forward to buying some of their trouser suits for work!

I have already purchased way too many skinny jeans and tall boots to wear with them. I love the boots now...and dresses, I've gotten a lot of new dresses too. Love it.

I want to wear a tank top. Maybe a little strappy dress in the summer. I usually hide in clothing and wind up sweating like a stuffed pig in summer.

      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.
