Fashion Divas



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I love following fashion trends and now that my size keeps shrinking, I'm getting even more into finding cute clothes and getting good ideas. For instance, Vera Wang has started a clothing collection at Kohl's called Simply Vera Wang and the most expensive thing is around $135 -- sizes up to 16.

I also found a web page that tracks Hollywood trends and then remakes things in affordable prices. It had some cool stuff.

Hot in Hollywood

As long as we're getting skinny, we may as well get hip and GORGEOUS!

Anyone else a fashionista?

The best (and most expensive part) about losing the weight is getting new clothes!! A new mall is opening up about 2 miles from my house. I can't wait to shop in all the "regular" stores!!

I spent $300 on clothes last month and they are all too big now! I am trying to get as much use out of them as I can, but I look sloppy. I want to look put together and above all else I want to look hot!

I'm a fashionista to be. I love fashion, designers, shoes (saving up for a pair of Manolos or maybe Jimmy Choos) - you name it. I can't wait until I can fit into that stuff. I will walk away from Lane Bryant and never, EVER, look back

When I was in high school (about the size I am now I guess) I used to make my own clothes. They had nothing to do with any 'trend' or anything like that, just something I designed that I thought looked good. I didn't quit doing that because I got big actually, I quit doing it because I entered the corporate world and wanted to be taken seriously. Once I got big, even when I started working for my mom I never went back to making my spiffy outfits. My mom has told me dozens of times she wishes for the me from high school. I like to think I'm getting close, lol.

I'm moving out of Southern California to Oregon, so I'm hoping the extra money I have will allow me the extra funds to be creative like that again. Money is only one excuse, but a strong one. heh.

      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.
