Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

A Suggestion......



Recommended Posts

Go to your local store where you normally shop and grab clothing in your old size and in your new size and in the next size down...

Put on the smallest size.....if it fits, REJOICE...if it doesn't....but on your old size and REJOICE anyway because you are SHRINKING!!!

Ok...dh took the kids yesterday and I went to Lane Bryant and tried on 16s...most of them fit me...some didn't (or didn't look good) so I went and found some 26/28s....I felt sooo good when I put them on...It was the best feeling ever!!!! And I was thinking about the times I would try on 26/28s and they wouldn't fit in....And here they were falling off of me!!! Truly, I cannot think of anything better...

Oh...and then try some clothes in your present size...guaranteed some of them will be too big.

HEAVEN...

and I didn't spend a red cent.

Have fun!

This is a great idea. I focus so much on the size I WANT to be or the next size to get to its a good idea to remind ourselves where we have been !

Rain,

what a great idea!

i went from not being able to fit in clothes from The Avenue (30/32 wouldnt even button / zip / pull up) to almost not being able to shop at The Avenue because a 14/16 is starting to fit and will soon be too big...

woooooooo hooooooo!

I was doing some painting and need a shirt to throw over my good shirt I went and got an old work shirt XXL, put it on and it blew me away. I just could not believe that I use to fill that shirt out. I was standing there I just cry-ed. It was my oh wow moment. I have gone from a 24/26 to a 10.

That's a great idea!!!!

I own 2 pair of elastic denim pants, 3 white turtle necks, 3 blazer/jackets, 1 black elastic skirt.

I'm afraid to go shopping. I feel FATTER now than I did when I was a few sizes up...like a 10 or so.

Why is that? Maybe my problem areas are now visible instead of allover fat?

      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.
