My big goal was to get into Lululemon workout wear. About a month ago I made it into the leggings. I have several tops, and they fit, but I like my tops big to cover my tummy.

I also like going to White House Black Market, and the Loft. I'm also enjoying Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren in the misses sizes.

Lululemon is one of those stores I will NEVER shop at because of their corporate attitude toward people they think are less than worthy to wear their overpriced clothes. I have read nothing good about them.

I can't wait to wear a cute dress again, no matter where it comes from. I haven't worn a dress that doesn't come to my ankles in 12 years.

I have to wear suits for my job several months out of the year. I want to be able to shop in the normal men's section. I want to be able to buy cool t-shirts to wear on vacation and while fishing. I want to shop and be able to buy something that catches my eye off the rack and not have to put it back because it isn't a 5xl.

I'm not at goal yet, but I always wanted to shop in Victoria's Secret, got that around Thanksgiving. Gap was another wish, bought one thing there and lost interest. I've browsed in the limited, express and forever 21, just haven't bought anything in there yet.

I really want to go to a boutique type store (not a chain) and be able to buy something. Just haven't been to one yet

This will probably sound silly but my dream store was Target. They have such cute things! And they're cheap! I can now shop there and I love it.

I also really like H&M. I only have two tops from there but they're both my faves and they were both wicked cheap.

Clearly I love cheap things. I'd been so used to paying out the wazoo at stores like Torrid and Lane Bryant. It's so nice to be able to get a cute top for $10!

I've always loved JJill. looking forward to looking better in their clothes. but the truth is I am looking forward to making my own clothes again. I used to - but when I got heavy and I was always trying to loose it didn't seem right to take all that time to make something in a size I wasn't planning to stay at. not to mention I like high quality fabric, so it's not cheap.

When I get down to a size I think I'll be in a while, I am going to make dresses and skirts and pants for myself. I can't wait!

White House, Black Market has always had clothes that I think are beautiful, but I've never even walked into the store.

And.. Modcloth. I know they sell plus sizes, but I'm so afraid to try them because the styles don't work with my body type. But when I'm smaller? I will rock every single one of their dresses.

my daughters love modcloth! they have a dress I am planning to buy when it goes on sale, trying to decide what should be my "goal" size. maybe 10. not sure!

Love Zara's, banana republic and gap. Also designer outlet stores.

It feels good to shop in those stores, even though everything doesn't look good on me,lol.

I still have 20-25 pounds to go, hoping then I could fit more things at Zara's.

I just love that store.

I love Modcloth! Be careful though, the sizes run VERY small if you are used to US sizes. When I was a size 18, I had to order 4x.

      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.
