@@laurenella82 I've noticed that a lot too...there should be some kind of clothes exchange link or to sale, buy, trade whatever! There's so many Of us switching sizes all the time. There may already be one I'm not too good at finding my way around this site yet.

There is a whole thread devoted to this.

I am a clearance rack person and also go to places like Ross, Burlington, etc. The thing is, I still have to look nice for work, for interviews, etc. And I can't wear the same pants every day. Lol. So even if I shrink out of them, that's fine. I hate looking frumpy in baggy oversized clothes.

I need a professional / executive look for work. I used Gwynnie Bee , which is an online clothing rental site. You rent several outfits at a time , I choose 3 at time for $79.99 per month. You just return anything ( free shipping) you are done with or don't like. They start at size 10 and go up from there, so there are lots of choices.

I also use upscale online consignment shops. My favorites are Thred Up and Twice. They often have have 40-50% for new customers. When you couple that with thrift shop savings , there are some amazing bargains. I got a pair of Michael Kors jeans new with the tags still on for $13 , tag said $129. The clothes come clean and shipping is included for returns . Easy peasy!

I remember the first time I lost weight. I got rid of all my size 16 clothes. Now many sizes larger, I wish I was that size

      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.
