Recommended Posts

I too am a teacher; however, my mother has clothes in her closet in all different sizes so I was fortunate to be able to wear some of her clothing for a little while. I did by me a couple of pants on sale mostly at Sears and Walmart because well I'm cheap. LOL Now, I have purchased a couple outfits a regular price now that I'm 69 pounds lighter. I still have at least 12 pounds to reach my goal.

I was unemployed and then working from home so my clothing situation was horrific! When I got a job and I had to go to the office everyday I had to buy 5 pair of pants because everything I had was from like 100 lbs ago.

Keep in mind I was 1 of those people who said that they would never ever ever buy clothes from a second hand store. Now it's where I buy most of my clothes. I would look for store located in 1 of the wealthier town or nearby because they have the best clothes. I also find the store Savers to be very organized and very clean and enjoyable to shop in.

Last week I bought a fleece jacket Lands End for 5 dollars A Talbots wool sweater for 5 dollars and a pair of corduroy pants for a $1.29.

Conversely as you're losing get rid of your fat clothes and donate them to 1 of the stores. Places like savers will give you a coupon for donating so you can take that and get money off the clothes you're buying!

      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.
