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!

Rain,

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...

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?

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
