Might be an old topic but im sure you all might have something to write about shopping for clothing after loosing some lbs

At first it's exciting. .. then it gets expensive. Almost all of my tops are like tents on me now and I have to wear an undershirt to keep from being obscene! I go to Ross or TJ Maxx to get a new pair of jeans about every 3 weeks because I just can't wear my pants too big. I'm not spending a significant amount of money on one size of clothes until my weight loss starts to stabilize. In 9 weeks I've went from a size 20 to a 12-14. Pretty much wear the same pants every day and with a different tent on top.

Right it is expensive buying new clothes every few weeks I went down almost 6 sizes in 6 month but seeing myself in a smaller size every month gave ne the push to be extra good with my diet, and dont forget eating out and buying fast food was not a cheap lifestyle either

I like to shop at value village our local thrift store. Especially now as I approach my surgery I will mostly be buying stuff there as it won't be fitting long anyhow.

      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.
