I attended an out of town conference this weekend. Since it was in the 90s, I left the sweater I usually take to conferences in my room (and left my wool wrap at home). Of course, the conference center was freezing. It finally occurred to me I could buy one of the sweatshirts they had available on the merchandise table because it would fit! I still got sick but at least I got a new hoodie sweatshirt.

Congratulations! I went to my campus bookstore and bought a MEDIUM school hoodie last week. I couldn't believe it. I'm so happy for you! :)

What a feeling!! I'm not quite there yet.....but it won't be long! [emoji3][emoji106] I just bought a pair of Jennifer Lopez boyfriend jeans at Kohls in a size 20...,I'm currently in a 22 in most brands....I brought them home and they fit perfectly! Love love love!! I always hated shopping before... I'm afraid there has been a clothes monster created via WLS! Btw ladies and gents...Kohls has some awesome deals on their clearance racks right now!

Super NSV, but remember that a sweatshirt is inappropriate interview attire. :rolleyes:

I am not planning to wear it to a interview. The conference was an annual meeting for a grass-roots community activist organization ("activist summer camp").

awesome NSV! I took one of my nieces to see a movie sunday afternoon and realized I am going to have to start bringing a sweater to the movies - even in a long sleeve tshirt I was freezing! and i never used to get cold...ever.

Very cool NSV.

I was hugely relieved when I could finally....finally shop in virtually any store and buy clothes. So much more variety and way cheaper than the big & tall stores......or in my case, the bigger & taller stores.

No longer have to fear losing my bags on air travel. If it happens.....no worries.....a quick trip to any mall and clothes are replaced.

Very cool NSV.

Hope you get well quickly.

      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.
