Congratulations at being at goal!!!!

IT is so hard for me not to shop for clothes! I am a clothes horse and I can't help it. Yesterday I had to return something to LB and I almost bought something bc they were have a sale..50% off everything in the store. At the last minute I put everything back on the rack. I am lucky that I have many large closets filled with different size clothes from my fluctuations over the years. But the smallest I have is size 14.

Ladies, I waited too long to go shopping in my closet. I realized that my 18WPs were getting way too baggy (I try to wear them as long as possible), and I had four pairs of 16WPs in my closet from my last unsuccessful diet that I hadn't even taken the tags off of. Went to try them on. Some of them are okay, slightly baggier than I prefer, but wearable. A couple of the others are just barely wearable. I mean, we're talking saggy-ass, pull them up to my breasts, BIG. I don't think I can wear them. Awesome, but irritating, since they've NEVER BEEN WORN. I'm really going to have to start up with Ebay, I think. I've got the two pairs of 16WPs (soon to be more, hopefully), a pair of 18WPs that are barely worn, a pair of 20WPs that are barely worn, etc. After these get too big (I LOVE saying that, btw), I'll HAVE to go shopping, since I haven't been smaller than a 16W for years.

Hell, I need to go get some Spanx. Maybe I can go down another size!

I have some very nice clothes, but all too big. I wore them as long as I could but just can't anymore. My boss mentioned that I need to buy clothes, so I had to bite the bullet to get a couple of outfits. I only bought one dress pants (black) and one casual with few tops to mix and match. Great sales on now but I have to resist- who knows what size I'll be later.

There is nothing like walking past plus size stores- no more, no more, no more shopping in them :lol:

That's what I can't wait for. One more size, maybe 1/2 size! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :)

      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.
