I know I am only 4 weeks out but I was feeling really good about myself until we went shopping for Halloween costumes. We always want to do couple costumes but I can never get a good costume in my size. This is really depressing and tiresome. I just hope next year will be better.

Next year will be great! You'll be able to get a great costume! It is very discouraging but its something to look forward to!

I feel your pain. Every year my friends put on a big costume party and I hate it. As I tried on my costume (that I also hate) for this year, I made a little vow that this year would be the last in which I have to shop at specialty online shops to find a costume that will actually fit me. Next year, I will fit into the more mainstream costumes! Now if it was just 365 days from now... :)

I totally am going through the same thing! My boyfriend and I really wanted to be Princess Leia and Han Solo. The costume is like 1 size too small so I had to go online to a specialty store. I found a cute tinkerbell costume and he is going to be Robin Hood but it's just not the same thing. :(

      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.
