I'm 10 weeks postop I've lost 42 lbs my clothes in my closet doesn't fit pants falling down even with a belt shirts/blouses falling off the shoulder & most of all intimate clothing ....it's all gravy but I went out over the weekend to buy a simple dress/skirt and they were the too big or too small, before the sleeve I was wearing a 16/18 pant 2x/3 blouse....so I'm depressed about shopping for clothing

Man, I know how you are feeling about this. There appears to be huge differences between XXL & XL in mens clothing as well. I personally have only been shopping at the Thrift stores or Goodwill. So far I have gone through a pair of pants about every three weeks. I mean; I'm not complaining or anything, but it would get expensive if I were to buy clothes at a retail store!

Don't fret! Even people who are at goal have that kind of day shopping sometimes. I swear I thought I was being punked one day at Marshall's. I had about 5 shirts to try on and not only did not a single one of them fit me, but one of them I couldn't get my head through the head opening and one of them I went to put my arm in the sleeve, and there was no sleeve. It's like the store got a giant batch of defects and I managed to try on every one of them. Sometimes we just have a bad shopping day. Don't worry, I'm sure the next time you go try things on you may have the opposite problem- when you have too much stuff and your credit card cries a little. :)

      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.
