I cleaned out my closet today. I got rid of over a third of it. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I have NOTHING to wear except for a few pants that I had. No shirts tho. I'm going to need to go shopping. I just don't know where to go nor do I want to spend a alot of money to just grow out of it. I'm not a huge fan of old navy and the Macy's and target we have are small. Marshall's and tjmaxx are awful here. I swear we get the stuff nobody wants from the bigger stores. Ugh. What to do?

My whine of the day... Lol

I am going to hit Goodwill and Savers for now - we have other second hand stores as well. If I need something for an event, I will splurge, but don't want to put much money into clothes at this point. I have also found good deals at Kohls on clearance.

Where did u get the bento-type lunch box? I ordered the actual bento one off Amazon but would like a second one so I don't have to wash that one EVERY night to use the next day. LOL.

Surgery: 6/5/2013

I actually found a great one at Walmart & there is a coupon online for it $2 off (Rubbermaid)...also world market has them...haven't been to Target in a bit so I can't say for sure

Try to sign up for freecycle.org You can get stuff from others free.. Nothing can be sold. And its a great way to give away stuff you don't need to someone who could really use it Hope you have one in your community

Unfortunately, on this man made island I'm on, nobody has ever heard of freecycle. I wish it existed here but alas, it does not. For some reason, the bridge slows technology down as much as the car traffic. We're so behind the times. : (

Chinese food has been great for me too. I just order it without rice or give away the rice. Egg drop Soup is fab!

A friend of mine suggested hitting the Goodwill since we are changing physically faster and that way, we dont have to spend as much do often.

      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.
