Shopping for an outfit for an interview tomorrow. Quite possibly the worst experience of my life as the size 26 clothes are more like tents than shirts and pants. Surgery and a new life can't get here fast enough!!!

I like dress barn for work appropriate dresses and check out if there is a store called "Clothes Mentor" in your area. It is the grown up equivalent to Once Upon a Child and Platos closet. They are very picky about the clothes they accept and their pricing, while not cheap, is definitely better than buying items new. You are going to be on the loser's bench soon so it doesn't have to last 10 years. Good luck at your interview!

Update: After leaving Catherine's a feeling a little better since I found an OK outfit, my phone was stolen at The Shoe Depot! I will now have to pay a 200 dollar deductible for a new phone, which makes this outfit pretty darn expensive. Worse, I lost many photos and videos of my two-year-old that I will never be able to get back. All and all, not a great shopping trip!

Just go in and exude confidence. If it is meant to be it will be. I will promise you that the best is to come, and having the sleeve will be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Your phone is a material thing, but I am so sorry. I feel that pain. Hunt up some replacement pictures you shared with others or on FB. Also that phone may turn up so be sure and retrace your steps before you order another phone! Good luck for everything to come!

      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.
