New jackets and/or coats?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone buying new jackets and/or coats this fall? I had to get rid of a couple of jackets, but am trying to get by with a couple of old ones. Coats are expensive and I worry about where I'll be next winter. Meanwhile, I look kind of sloppy. :-(

I'm not even close to goal and I'm swimming in my coats, dress pants and jeans. I kinda look like a hobo in my coat, but I can't imagine buying one only for a few months, so I plan to just suffer through it. The jeans thing, I plan to wear yoga and compression pants until winter is over. The dress pants thing, I'm going to have a few skirts taken in and try to get by.

I'm early yet so I'm still fitting in the ones that were getting too snug. That said when the time comes I will be buying new clothes here and there. I've never been about looking sloppy. In fact one of the thing people often asked me was how I dressed so nice a larger woman. I like looking cute and always will.

I will still fit in mine from last year that was snug. Next year will be new wardrobe time. Luckily I have kept clothes from size 16-22. So I'm ok for the next couple months. Lol but I'm a shopper. So I have no problem getting a new wardrobe every few months ????

I bought a really cute coat at Ross for less than $20.00. I haven't needed a coat in years, but without my extra 100 lbs of "insulation", I am freezing!

      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.
