Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

This may have been mentioned before but I don't remember seeing it.

I found a website, Gwynnie Bee where for a fee you can basically rent (borrow sounds better) designer clothes. This would be good if you were a professional woman who needed to dress well but knew it was crazy to buy something expensive you wouldn't be able to wear for very long or if you needed a dress for a special occasion. They have ALL sizes too. They carry other clothes besides dresses, all designer stuff.

If this is a repeat post, sorry. But this may be just what someone needs.

I joined a while ago, and was going to cancel because I wear scrubs to work. I was thinking it wasn't really worth the money for me. But since I had surgery it's perfect! I can borrow clothes for weekends and social occasions, and I have lots of options for sizes. Plus it's fun getting clothes in the mail to try on. My lighting is way better than the dressing rooms at the store.

"Rent the runway" is a similar site, no monthly fee though. You just pay when you rent! We have used it several times and it's awesome!!! All designer dresses and sizes 0-22. When you rent one size, you have can have another size (up or down based on reviews) sent free as well ????. Package includes return packaging and postage pre paid.

I really recommend it ????????

      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.
