Clothes....Fitted or Baggy?
i agree fitted clothes are the way to go. i myself dont like to wear baggy clothes because i think they make you look bigger then wut you are. i usually stick to fitted jeans. Shirts depend on what kind it is if its a flowy top like a baby doll thats fine but nothing baggy, i usually leave those for working out and sleeping in. :wink_smile:

not enough nutrition?
for the past few days i had been starving... today i started somewhere inbetween mushies and full liquids. i scooped humus into a measuring cup and the whole day i ate less then 1 cup. i have felt full all day and couldnt eat anymore. but do make sure that you get your water in, last night i felt like my legs were paralized and numb i couldnt sleep all night when i told the nurse today she asked me if i was drinking at least 3 bottles of water a day (and im not) and she very seriously told me that it is very important that i get it in and that it could lead to problems if i dont. so make sure u do that lol im still trying to drink all this water
