Okay, today’s outfit brought to you by ModCloth. This is one that I bought to shrink into, and it came in and it fit! I like the style a lot.

Here is a fun tidbit: at my last therapy appt. I talked about dysmorphia issues. My body is changing too fast for me to keep up. Anyway, she talked about me looking in the mirror more with positive statements about myself. This thread is functioning the same way. I can distance out from myself, because it’s about the clothes, while still seeing myself and getting used to the current version of myself. I would encourage people to NOT WAIT until you hit some magic number on the scale to participate. It’s been such a good exercise for me, and it probably will be for you. Also, if at all possible, don’t wait to buy yourself cute clothes. You should feel good about yourself as you lose, don’t wait. It’s not a waste of money, it’s putting in some of the head work as you lose.

^^^ You said it, sister.

As vain as it may sound to some, putting on some nice threads and looking and feeling good is a major confidence booster. And confidence is the Best. Thing. Ever. because it makes everything you do feel like the BEST. THING. EVER.

P.S. I just checked out ModCloth...some seriously cute stuff on there :)

ModCloth is TROUBLE! They have some GREAT markdowns, though. This dress was just over $20, and it is made very well, lined and everything. The only thing I wish it had was pockets.

Left: OOTD* for a client meeting this morning.

Right: What I changed into immediately when I got home, lol.

*What a difference 20 lbs makes. Around mid-May (~3 months ago) I couldn't zip the zipper all the way up on this black dress, and it was TIGHT across my butt. Now it's too loose to wear by itself - I have to wear something underneath, AND belt it.

      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.
