I just gave all my winter jackets to the goodwill because they are now three times too big!! I hope it won't be a cold winter! ;)

I still don't want to buy many clothes till I'm at goal since the weight is coming off so quickly and I'm going through sizes every month.

It's amazing once you realize you have no clothes anymore but its so nice to say goodbye to the bigger clothes knowing you'll never go back to them! :) enjoy it!

It is a great feeling. I spend a lot of time shopping now. It's pretty fun to buy clothes in regular people sizes! But it's time consuming because I had nothing and had to start from scratch, including shoes. Also I'm in perpetual search of sales because I just don't want to spend a lot of money. I have to admit.... I've had worse problems lol. I need a coat, too. Living in Michigan, there is no way to avoid that!

      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.
