I still have 5 more days of my pre-op diet (for a total of 14 days) before my sleeve on March 8th! The nerves and excitement haven't quite set in yet..still fills surreal but I'm so ready!

Hello everyone,

Where would you/ do you shop for petite non-plus sized clothes? I'm surfing the web looking for some deals! Currently at size 14W. I've often bought Women's Petite sized-clothing from Talbots because I have to dress up for work but I don't know that I'll buy much of their regular petite stuff because it's kind of boring. And I certainly don't want to spend the money if I'm going to be in a size for only a month or so.

Hope everyone who was close to surgery when you posted is doing well post-op!

No, I was 275,and 5,4. I'm now 9 days post up. I'm sleeping better, despite some gas discomfort, and incision pain, point of removal of the stomach. So don't give up.

      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.
