I know exactly how you feel! When you do start shopping, you'll probably want to be very conservative with how much you buy. The weight drops like a rock and what fits today may fall off two weeks later!

Oh I know :) It will be thrift store finds until I reach my goal weight!!! But lucky for me the small sizes always have great finds in the thrift store!!! But I keep looking @ VS Pink stuff and Ive never been able to wear it, not even their XL :( Silly goal I know but I so badly want some cute sweat pants hahahah!

I'm 3days out now. But before the surgery, I bought a few pieces that looked great and I had to have. Lol. Since I work at a clothing store part time, I won't be spending a lot.

Hey baby girl,

You work at a clothing store and do not spendwho whole check on clothes? Ohhh I'm such a junkie! I love a few designer pieces mixed in my wardrobe (from my corporate days). Is it a store where a friend discount would be awesome? (wink wink).

I just bought stuff on sale all different sizes. It's also nice to borrow clothes from friends and sisters. I was lucky my sister gave me a ton of clothes that she didn't fit in anymore and they got me through for a few months. Also belts are my best friend! I love shopping now I have to keep myself out of the mall lol. I spend to much time getting ready in the am now lol. I think I'm most excited about wearing dresses:-).

guys have thoughts about this stuff too. To be honest, i want to be able to wear UA gear. underarmor.

I have thought about buying a few pieces of cloths but, since i live at work it will be an interesting battle with the boss to get new shirts as my weight drops LOL.

      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.
