I know this sounds stupid but I already want to shop for my new body! LOL....every time I go to target or Walmart I browse the ladies section for cute clothes that I know someday I will be able to fit in. I feel like a creep lurking in the ladies section because lord knows I can't fit into any of those clothes at the moment. Hopefully surgery in Oct and then the shopping will be on!!!!

It's funny I went to Macy's yesterday and I was trying on things and I couldn't find anything to fit. I'm still plus sized but they didn't have anything that I liked in my size. I have went from size 24 to 18. I've never been shopping and everything was too big. Ooh what a feeling.

Surgery date April 23, 2012

Pre op wt. 297

Current wt. 235.

My favorite place is fashion bug plus. They don't have only plus sizes. I think will go see if they have summer clothes on clearance for next year

What if we do a clothing swap? We can help each other by saving money. If we have to ship it then that person could just pay for shipping. Would anyone want to do that?

My sister said Goodwill is a good place to go until you reach your goal weight. I have heard this from a lot of friends that the clothes there are in great condition and cheap especially going from one size to another. I went from a 20-22 to right now a 12-14.

      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.
