Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

A big NSV for me today! Any gal a size 14W or up knows the drill-- you are either shopping in the basement or the attic, next to the dishes and baby clothes. Today, I spent two hours in a strange place called the Missy department! I bought two pairs of pants and it was surreal. Probably kind of silly but it just felt so weird. I kept waiting for someone to say, "you're too fat to be here" but I was just shocked that stuff fit!! Go me! :P

Way to go! Now, get it in your head that you are NOT too fat to be there. You belong in that department. Own it! It's yours now!

That's awesome!!! Can't wait to say the same! Reminds me of a funny thing that happened to me. I was at a department store l hadn't been in before looking for a dress. I walked up to a sales associates and asked her where their dresses were and she looks at me and then whispers "the plus sized dresses are upstairs"! hahaha Yes I could've chosen to be really annoyed by this but I though it was hilarious she whispered it!

TOTALLY understand the surreal, your too fat to be here, feeling. I am a size 1, 2 or 3, depending on where I shop, and feel almost like a fraud. Like I have no business buying such sizes. I look pretty good in clothes, But...I know what I look like naked, with excess skin, and it ain't pretty!!! LOL :unsure:

      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.
