I put 10 giant trash bags full of cloths in donation bins for Africa. Wasnt even thinking that they won't fit anyone over there. Maybe they'll make stuff with the material. The sizes were 24 to 16 and 4x to 1x even shoes. I was so excited to get rid of them it just didn't set in I guess. I did keep two fav jeans as memory of how big I got.

I had some family members that could use my too big clothes. My cousin said it felt like Christmas. I was glad I could help her. When I decided to go through my clothes I was trying on everything and basically everything was too big. I had to go shopping. I didn't buy much because I'm only four months post op, but the clothes I had were so big it didn't look flattering anymore. Luckily I had some clothes in my attic that I haven't worn in years because they were too small.

I just went through my closet tonight for the first time. I am 3 months out and down 65 pounds. I have no clothes!!! I am shopping at the local thrift shop this week. Can't imagine spending a lot of money on clothes I will be getting rid of in another month or two. Pants are now an 18 from 24. Shirt is size XL from 3x.

Guys, use eBay plus size clothes sell really well, and leave the money in your Paypal account until you reach your target then draw it out and treat yourselves to a shopping spree for lots of gorgeous new tiny clothes! Xxx:-)

I'm going to sell my clothes and give away anything that does not sell. There's also a few consignments shops that will give you money for your clothes as well. I have so many clothes to sell I'm having a hard time getting it all photos.

      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.
