I LOVED my senior prom dress from 2005. But it got ruined in a move. :( I so wish I could do this challenge with you. But I'm currently challenging myself to fit in and buy the wedding dress of my dreams

That's why I haven't fully committed to one. The dress I know for sure that I WANT, I can't find though. :'(

Funny this comes subject comes up. Have been pondering for several years on what to do with my wedding gown. Have two grown boys. A few months ago I decided to get into it once more then donate it. It's from 1979 I will be 12 weeks out tomorrow. Guessing about 15-20 pounds more before it should fit.

It's not doing any good sitting for 33 years and it's probably rotting away.

This just reminded me to try on my wedding dress from 1996. It fit! A little bit snug, but looks good. Brought back lots of memories. We were planning a destination wedding when my husband contracted bacterial meningitis. He was in a coma and on life support. When he finally got out of the hospital we decided to ditch the destination and got married on Anna Maria Island, FL on the beach with just us and the notary. My dress was a white, beachy sundress that I bought at Ross for $15. I can't believe it actually fits!

      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.
