Officially out of plus sizes!!! NSV



Recommended Posts

Another quick remark. In the past, I always preferred very loose clothes, flowing pants, etc. A few days ago, I was getting ready for work and had decided to wear some clothes that were a little big large but would be flowy, etc. like I used to prefer. I thought I looked ridiculous. I chucked it all and started over with clothes that fit. Also, big clothes make you look bigger. Too bad I didn't realize that when I was trying to disguise my body in the past.

Hi Shangefan,

I know what you mean. As I clear out my closet of all the 26_GONE, 24_GONE and yesterday 22_GONE, it hits me that as I get in more common sizes I will have a much greater selection of clothes to buy from.

Have you thought about what your style is going to be? In the plus sizes, we have had to take what they had that fit even if it really wasn't "me".

When the extra weight is gone(Next Fall:smile:), I plan to have a wardrobe that I love wearing and reflects my certain style.

So part of my journey in the next 9 months is to rediscover myself. What do you think?:thumbup:

Good Journey,

MaggieGT

Maggie that is great thinking. It has crossed my mind too. I wanna try all sorts of differnt styles. Not baggy clothes but tailored. No more scrounging around to find Cheap clothes. I bought cheap stuff because I didn't know when I would stop gaining and haveing to buy new clothes again. I want to be able to find that "perfect" pair of jeans. I want to be able to wear the tops that biker ladies wear when I am riding our motorcycle. Shorts, I haven't worn them in probly 6,7 years. Shoes that fit right. My feet measure size six but I have to wear an eight because they are so fat.

Congrats to hollie and Jfc.

      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.
