Fat Clothes Sure Take A Beating!



Recommended Posts

I'm down about 70 pounds. And I just realized not only was I abusing my body, but damn my poor clothes took a beating. Trying to squeeze into something that is tight as he!!, stretching shirts out, trying not to dry my jeans so they wouldn't shrink, and forget about the chub rub on my pants. I'm just now going down a size, it's not because I haven't lost enough weight, it's because I was always in denial trying to wear clothes that didn't fit properly.

Needless to say I am enjoying wearing my clothes, especially now that they fit appropriately.

That's funny. I couldn't figure out at first, how I had lost so much weight, but was not in new sizes yet. Then I realized that my clothes had stretched over time as I gained weight. Being overweight is also very abusive to shoes! Mine never last very long, but now that I am slimming down, I am hoping that my favorite pairs will last more than 4-6 months!

You are right, I just gave my favorite sweat suit a proper good bye last month. I wore the mess out of that suit cause it was the only thing that fit. Now I have a good variety.

Chitowngirl..you must be my sister from another mister! I did the exact same thing!!!! It's a wonderful feeling to be able to purchase clothes that fit. I am enjoying just going to regular stores and shop..how cool will it be when I can shop in the regular section instead of plus size!

Very funny. I still have all my plus size. Still can't believe, I will never wear plus size again. Was 22w, now 12-10 regular size. I still go straight to the plus size when I enter the store.

      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.
