Ok so I really like that my closet is now a closet full of clothes that dont fit! my old clothes swallow me! I hate shopping for clothes, and im not sure of my size. Plus im not where I need to be yet so dont want to buy a bunch only to have them out grow me in 2-3 months. Might have to hit up a goodwill and just second hand shop till im at my goal weight.

Yes! The clearance racks are awesome right now, I even buy them if they 2 even 3 sizes smaller @ $3-7 a pop why not? :) I found a short black dress at Target Friday for 5 bucks its a size 24 (I was a 28-30) and it fit so good my husband couldn't compliant me enough every time he passed by... He was a high school boy! Lol :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Im going to shop at the salvation army this Wednesday it's 50% off everything. I need 5 pairs of jeans to start me off then maybe sweats & some shirts. This is the only way for me to get anything especially since I'm dropping size quickly & don't know where I'm at except I'm a 13 now & medium shirt.

My plan tomorrow is to go through my closet an donte what will not fit me anymore. I told my husband this morning I need to get some new pants and shirts and a new belt. I have had to add new holes to my belt. Great feeling!!

I'm also a thrift store shopper right now ;) I also love garage sales!! One tip I like to do since I love my jeans is turn them inside out and sew the excess to my size right now it's easy and saves $$

I have found some clothes on sale at Kohls and Coldwater Creek. I have to still get rid of all of my old stuff, I am pulling things out of my closet daily that are just too big! The fun part is seeing people that have not seen me in a while, they don't recognize me!

Savers and thrift stores for me as I start to lose and run out of the right size. I fortunately saved a lot of my clothes that were smaller so I can shop in my own closet. Unfortunately for me my weightloss is dragging because these antibiotics are kicking my butt. It makes it hard to get all the Fluid and Protein in. OH well....last night for those so hopefully I can kick up the totals for Water and protein again. Congrats on your smaller closet :)

      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.
