This is very exciting, yet bittersweet! I am going to clean out my closet today! Meaning I will have maybe 3 outfits that fit. I know it's crazy but when I put on my pre surgery clothes and they are baggy every where I feel disgusting! I will not be spending alot I money on clothes until I reach my goal weight. Thank God summer is around the corner and I can live in summer dresses. But for now, this crap needs to go!

Yayyy you! I dont have the guts to purge the closet all at once, but I am getting rid of things here and there. I really should take a page from your book and ditch the baggy stuff, because honestly, it looks awful... Lol. Congratulations on the nsv :-D

Hello :) if you are cleaning out your closet and want to make cash & if you have a Facebook acct well you are in luck!! There are groups on there (plus size friendly) that you have to request to be a member of (totally private) then you can post your pictures of clothes on there and sell to make $$$. I have sold over $1500!! The names of the groups are Fattoo, plus size gallery, for fat sakes, Fattoo accesora. Only men are allowed in these groups... Sorry guys! Lol

It's kinda like eBay but without the fees!

Happy selling and shopping!

I cleaned out my closet this weekend. I'm only 1 month post op but I've already gone down a size. I packed them up and plan to do resale later.

I did take two bags of clothes to Goodwill this morning. Took all of my Lane Bryant bras! I was so happy to see them go!!!

I cannot WAIT to no longer have to shop at Lane Bryant! On my list of reasons for WLS surgery, one of them is "No longer shop at Lane Bryant!"

Good for you, girl!!!

      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.
