Spent yesterday pulling all my clothes that are too small from my shed (3 tubs). The I pulled all the too small stuff that I crammed into the top of my closet and the bottom. Finally from all my other hiding places. I put them in tubs according to size. I didn't have enough tubs so I used some white trash bags and wrote in permanent marker on the outside what size they are. Then I put them back in my shed with the larger ones on top and the smallest stuff at the bottom. This way as I (wow I have to think of a word that is the opposite of outgrow and I am not used to thinking that way) shrink into smaller sizes I just grab a new tub.

@@395Ron I really need to fo that too! Have three closets to tackle. During my recovery, I would really like to set up an eBay store for the clothes I outgrow. I tend to spend too much on my clothes and would love to get a little of it back! I have been reading that there is even a chance our shoes will become too big!! When is your surgery date again, Ron?

Mine is scheduled for October 23rd. Pre oP visit is on Oct. 6th. Cigna has already approved so I'm all set to go! Minus the $6500 payment that still needs to be made! Excited but dreading the liver shrink 2 weeks prior to surgery.

      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.
