Buying New Clothes- Have you ever...



Recommended Posts

So I've finally lost enough to need new clothes (77#!). I was in Old Navy yesterday and found myself trying on items in sizes that pre-op Sarah would have tried on, ie XXL dresses...of course they swallowed me up (insert dressing room happy dance here!), but I couldn't bring myself to even grab the Large off the rack since, "There's no way I could be a Large!" I ended up leaving without a dress at all!! How did y'all get over this??

I hear ya! I usually bring in several sizes and work up/down one size at a time. I'm sure that's what I'll be doing once I start shopping lol

It would help if there was a standard size. Some places I'm a large other xl. And some the xl doesn't fit. I can vary even in the same brand. Don't get me started on pants and jeans. I'm almost afraid to try stuff on. I have a couple of pairs of 14 jeans but some 16 I can't get on. Weird.

It all depends where they are in the pills when they cut them usually 50-10 pieces at at time that way sizes very even with the same brand and when the sew it the could put a little deeper seam which makes it smaller so just take a few different sizes are even same sizes cause everyone could be a little different

Denim for jeans is cut by hand so even in the same brand and same size it's always best to try them on, may fit differently. I learned that when I worked at Avenue.

      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.
