Feeling pretty good- went shopping, Goodwill had 1/2 off everything!!! I bought some clothes that are only 1-2 sizes smaller than I am now. I just want something to sort of get started

I have a few clothes that are too small for me now, but the ultimate goal is that I will be fitting into them very soon! It's a huge motivator :-)

I just went shopping today and I'm down another size, trying to by from the clearance rack to save money. But i love being able to shop and not get so stressed about it.

It's like all these clothes are now in our grasp. I used to hate clothes shopping but it was cause I couldn't find anything... As we get thinner- the possibilities expand

I am 10 weeks out lost 48 pounds and am just now going from 20's to 18's - yes my 20s were too big - but some brands the 18 are still tight in the belly - I had a few things in 18s already - my first purchase in a real store (only purchase for clothing since surgery) was at Old Navy I bought some 18 kahki pants - but they are really kinda big - I just needed them for work - now I may be in a smaller size already - I will have to try some things from my closet again!!!

      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.
