Nsv - Closet Shopping



Recommended Posts

Like most women, I have a range of sizes taking up space in the closet. Today I started going through clothes I haven't been able to wear in years. I was amazed at how many of them fit! Some of them I am sad to say I've nearly missed out on because they are basically already too big on me. Even my smallest clothes are oh so close to being publicly wearable. I can't believe it! When I look at myself in the mirror I can't really see much of a difference, but fitting into these clothes made it real to me. I really am losing this weight! I want to jump up and down! :)

Congrats. I am one of those with a range of sizes, now I am down to a few dress pants, jeans, blouses and dresses. I think I need to go to the 2nd hand and thrift stores , maybe I can find inexpensive clothes till I get to my goal wgt. I hate buying because I will be out of the clothes in no time.... Keep up the wonderful job u r doing...

I'm peeved off at my weight loss lol ok maybe not, but I purchased four pairs of Not Your Daughters Jeans which you should be able to wear through a range of sizes...but today I was joking about when you need new jeans....when you can pull them down without unbuttoning and unzipping them! I've only had them six weeks! So I guess I'll be hitting the store again. I'm singlehandedly keeping a local small business lady in business with this weight loss LOL

I did go through a closet just a bit prior to traveling. I have things I've kept of course, but I'm holding onto them for nostalgia, or they're designer (and while that was suited to my lifestyle ten years ago as a single professional, it's not appropriate for mom around the house wear) or because they're vintage. I love 30's and 40's bias cut gowns. Again, not so great for dropping my little guy off at school....though perhaps it would class up the joint :P

I'm going on ebay right now to find some jeans LOL Maybe it's possible not to pay full price every six weeks!

      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.
