I was incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful friend, who had lost a bunch of weight prior to beginning my own crazy journey. A couple weeks ago she offered all her 1X/20/22-size clothes to me, so I was able to completely overhaul my closet with clothes that fit properly! I was able to take everything but her pants....she's about 5'3" tall, and I'm just under 6'!! LOL (Talk about high-water pants!!) :)

I was a size 6 4 years ago, therefore I have size 6 through 16 ready and waiting for me. Before my surgery I organized everything by size, so as I start dropping the lbs I can go shopping in my basement. :-)

I SO tempted to buy a cute dress for our beach trip next summer! I've been browsing online stores and cannot WAIT to enjoy shopping again.

Although I have lots of clothes from weights gone by' date=' I too am going to buy something as motivation![/quote']

That's a good idea. I'm planning a cruise with my high school girlfriends next July. Hmmmm wonder what size I may be? Hmm

I bought this:) had been eyeing it for months. Went on sale when I got my surgery date 3 sizes were left: 18 (current) 10 and 0. I opted for the 10 as I won't be an 18 much longer and 0?...ha! Lol

I have never been a size 14 either and I bought a ca-yute zebra print silk dress from H&M a few weeks ago. I bought it as a goal dress and just for kicks tried it on. It fit! A little snug though. My body is weird. I can wear a 16 or 14 dress but I can't zip up a pair of 18 bootcut jeans. So my goal is a size 14 in jeans/pants. I hope I will be that size at 190 (never been under 200 as an adult either).

      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.
