In fact, it did. I never used to tuck my shirt in, now I do. I wear boots now too! Luv em in the winter. one thing I noticed is that I look like I'm trying to be 16 again (I'm almost 46). Last week, I bought a pair of skinny jeans that are neon pink/yellow mix. I put them on for the first time today and I look ridiculous! That was a waste of $25! They are coming off as soon as I get offline!

Have fun shopping!

I was just sleeved on May 20th, but I am sure that my style in clothes will change. The way i picked clothes in the past was by looking for anything in my size, see if it fits and if it does, buy one in every color. Boring and frustrating. I'm looking forward to shopping for clothes that I like...not just clothes that fit.

I can't wait to wear little cotton dresses or skirts. I haven't worn either in so many years! Also I love the look of short dresses with leggings beneath, but mine is not a leggings body right now. Can't wait to buy what I love, not just whatever will fit.

I am 18 months out and still struggle with this! I have no style and struggle to find something I like. I don't like very many of the clothes styles right now.

      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.
