Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Finally got tired of people telling me how bad I looked in my clothes, so I decided to do some clothes shopping. I figured I was down to a 36 waist so I went perusing through the store looking for decent jeans and slacks. After 40 mins Im getting a little annoyed as I can't find anything in my size so I decide to leave. On my way out I bumped into a section that had some awesome man gear init. As Im thinking "why do they keep this cool clothes over here? I looked up and saw a sign that said MENS DEPARTMENT. I have been shopping in this same store for five years but I had always went to the BIG TALL section. I didnt even know they had a mens section let alone that I could fit any of these clothes!! Big guys are usually forced to buy according to what they can fit, it felt good to refind my own sense of fashion....looking good ladies!

Congratulations! Are you going to post a picture of you in your stylish gear? As much as I love Jackie Gleason - I would like to put your real face with your CTFATS user name.

When I no longer needed to shop in the WOMENS section of the department stores(code for PLUS SIZE) or the clothing stores that dealt strictly with Plus Size women's clothing - I had to completely re-learn where to shop for clothes. A FUN thing to do!

Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Congrats CJFats. In addition to an expanded, more fashionable selection, the clothes generally cost less too!

I've found new happiness in the clothing sections of Target and Walmart. I love wearing tshirts, sweaters, and jeans. Even the cheapest ones look cute on me now!

      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.
