I feel like I'm wearing someone else's clothes...



Recommended Posts

I was 3 weeks post-op yesterday and today the first ill-fitting clothes hit the charity bin.

How good did that feel..?? :D

You will so enjoy your first closet flush........for me it was a very emotional experience. One thing to keep pushing you forward in your journey is to get rid of the discards immediately so that there is no looking back. If they are too good to throw out, there is always charity, a homeless shelter, or posting on this forum so that someone coming down to that size may be interested.

Congratulations! :)

So happy for you. :D I've become a seasoned thrift store shopper. I decided not to spend a lot of money replacing clothes with a smaller size and a short time later, replacing the clothes recently purchased.

Blessings,

Kathleen

You were wearing someone else's clothes -- they belonged to the former you. Congratulations on entering the next phase of your life.

It does feel great to see the clothes shrink in size, well done.

I have kept one pair of trousers and a top from when I was at my heaviest just so I can look back and see just what I have achieved and a reminder that I never want to go back there.

      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.
