We have a clothing exchange at our support meetings once a month. We take the clothes we can't wear anymore and look on the table for sizes we can wear now. It's a great idea, otherwise, I would have given my clothes to goodwill and bought new.

I am currently between 16 and 18. I know what you mean about disproportionate! Good luck!

Our support group does it 3 times a year. I wish it was more often. However, try shopping at Goodwill! I have found it to be a lot of fun - even though the XLs are also kept in the Plus area in the store by me.

Our group just did a Protein Powder swap. That was fun so maybe I'll suggest this next time. Thanks. And I'm a frequent Goodwill shopper, I just don't have much of a selection at my store. I'll keep trying though. It'd be nice if I could sell some of my old clothes so I could Afford to replace them. Even if it is with used clothes. What's the least time consuming way to sell??

I wish I could sell some of my dress clothes and business suits, but I'm skeptical about eBay and Craig's list and hate garage sales. I have 3 wedding gowns and a formal that I am looking into taking to a consignment shop.

I have clothes that are size 18! Jeans and skirts and dresses! Let me know you are interested! I am about a 12/14 now but will be getting rid if 14's pretty soon!

      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.
