That moment when....

You fit in a size 18! I havent been in 18s since 1998! Finally out of the 20s! I was probably about a size 28, or even 30! For once I went to the clothing closet at my weight management center, and everything I got fits except for 1 dress! Usually i am able to wear 1 or 2 items! I did also get a vs nightshirt and a LLR Randy style shirt. I got a dress for Easter. The top doesnt fit! I dont think my boobs would ever fit! A very successful day!

I think it's awesome that your weight management center has a "clothing closet":)

Would be a blast if I could coordinate a plus size patient to patient sale at my group....kinda like the mom to mom sales they used to do when my kiddo was little.

I am so very thankful for it! I took 5 bags to donate and came home with a white trash bag full! There is supposed to be a limit of 5 outfits. But they never limit for me. Maybe because I can usually only get there once a month. Or also the amount I donate (18 pair of jeans were in there)

That is amazing! Congrats. I'm also in the same boat. I just ordered my first pair of size 18 pants. I'm hoping they fit. Crossing my fingers!

It is awesome that your weight management center has clothes. I am struggling with what to do with my clothes. Clothes are so expensive, so I'd like to try and sell them for something. I'll be buying clothes consistently for the next year or more. But at the same time I wish I knew someone who really needed them and would appreciate them. I'm torn!

My big thing was and is LuLaRoe leggings! (Do not get the ones from China, the fit differently) i have 4 pair and I have worn them from size 26-18 now! The are getting a little loose in spots, but they were a life saver!

Apropos of nothing exactly, but does anyone know if LuLu,Roman of HeeHaw is still living? Your mention of LuLaRo triggered something in my brain. When you get to my age you've encountered so much it happens.There was an old-timey song that went" these foolish things remind me of you!"

      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.
