I have been living in the Walmart lee riders- love the tall cut at almost 5'9 I can cufff them- the reg are to short. Get the streach relaxed and you will likely be a 12 there. 17.98 with tax here. I also love the cherokee brand from target- again cheap and in great colors with no elastic!

Got my "trouser jeans" from Lands End today, and I love them! A little wider at the bottom than I'm used to, but they're super comfy. Their other jeans are very heavy. And, I fit in a 22. Yeah! :(

A clothing designer once told me that the wider leg at the bottom creates a smaller look towards the top!! So a tapered leg or straight leg for a heavy girl is a big no no in the fashion world for what its worth.... ha ha. Needless to say, almost all of my jeans have a slightly wider bottom portion of the leg.

Also, a shoe with a chunk heel makes you look longer and slimmer.

Its so frustrating isnt it? I cant help you all the way from Melbourne but when you find a good fit you stick to it. We have an el cheapo, really tacky, nasty store here called Chain Reaction but boy, they do the best large size jeans - lowish rise, nice bootleg, no nana jeans to be seen. All the way up to size 26. I usually buy an 18 from there, which is obviously the most popular size so when I see them, I buy 2-3 pairs. They're not expensive at all either, which is great.

When I was a teenager, I was a size 16 (US 14) and I couldnt wear jeans for years and years. You just couldnt get them in that size. It sure is better now.

      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.
