So some of you may remember me saying previously that I am going on holiday in September, and now it is about 2ish weeks away!

My first time in a hot country, and I was leaving clothes shopping until last minute.

I have now bought some bits and pieces, and my sizing varies immensely 🤔😂

I've definitely gone down a size or two - I was previously wearing a UK 22 (I probably should have been wearing a 24 but I was refusing to accept that) - and most of the clothes I bought over the weekend were a UK 18 - one dress I fit in was even a UK 16!! (still a little tight around the boobs but that is fine 🤣)

It was actually really nice to try on clothes for a change...now lets hope I can cope with the hot weather!

That is great and you will have a fabulous time in Greece.

In another few weeks the clothes you bought will probably be too big 😁

Amazing feeling isn't it? The 'OMG this smaller size actually fits me' moment is something I was not prepared for.

Hope you have an amazing time on your holiday - we just booked to go to Lanzarote in October (scottish) school hols, so cant wait!

It was shocking to be honest 😂 I was fully prepared to still be wearing the sizes I was in at my biggest! My eyes and mind deceive me 😅

Thank you! Oooh lovely - I hope you all have a good time! I have always wanted to visit Scotland, if for the cooler weather if nothing else 🤣

I bought clothes a few weeks ago for going away this coming weekend for a work trip and then my holiday in a couple of weeks. Tried on the various trousers yesterday to sort out my packing lists and they are all too big on the waist and wide on leg. Nothing that I can do about it now but thankfully they all have drawstring waists though and I guess if the weather is going to be warm it will be ok to have flowy trousers, just not the chic look I was aiming for on the work trip, holidays I don't mind about as that is casual and no-one will know me in the US.

I loved Greece when I went years ago so I hope you do too. We went to lots of amazing historical sites around the Peloponnese.

It can be a bit of a mind bender buying new clothes in smaller sizes but well done you for needing smaller sizes. Yay!

Tip: cool winds tend to blow in the afternoons & evenings from end of September on in Greece so pack a jacket just in case.

Have a fab fab time. I hope it's not tooooo hot.

Going down sizes so quickly is mind-blowing, as the others have said, but enjoy it, you work hard for it. Totally the right thing to leave it as late as possible to buy new clothes for the trip.

Thank you everyone for the advice :D

I have packed my bag now, and lets just say, all my clothes don't fit in there 😂 I will be taking up some of my boyfriends bag space 😅

Fingers crossed I cope with the heat 🤞

      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.
