@IcanMakeit... they are a size 6.5 Jessica Simpson's.. you can barrow if the fit. and actually they are very comfortable...platform fronts are my friend.... heheh how these on the other hand are torture... the kind you find a spot and just look pretty wearing them... They are made by Iron Fist... and these are from Penthouse shoes collection... 15 min. is all i can take. but they are cute as hell and look great on my feet... heheheh

@@MistyAnnMoon829 I think i must have been a stripper in a past life.... heheheheh

i have always loved them the higher the better.... lol When i was younger and 100lbs.... i wore them all the time, hardly ever did i wear flats. Then as i got fatter the shoes got flatter... Now i wear heels most every day. I'm pretty close too.. I hide them... then when my husband says... when did you get those... i say.. i've been having them. Bahahahaha and thanks for calling me young. Ill be 47 in july..... i thought about that the other day... in three years ill be 50. My son turned 24 today. I love Kmart... bought these there and Red and sparkles at Dillards. I also buy off of Ebay... really great deals there

I had surgery 5 years ago and a few weeks ago my husband said..... Lapband was my hobby and that I really didn't n it because you weren't that fat

I LOVE!!!! Shoes... the higher the better. I bought these in brown at Kmart

We have a local place here that's been around for yearssss call T.A.R.C. it's for mentally handicapped people and the have a thrift store call The Cedar Chest. they also have a country store with restaurant. they work both place and i love them both. Our local GW does not employ the handicapped which is sad. I use to give all my stuff to GW and shop there. During my WL it was my go to place. Love your three piles..... Purge purge purge... heheheh

@@coachk11233 If your on the fence.... Do more research... go to some support groups in your area... talk to people that had WLS... all the different types. Look around here... you will see people that love the band, love the sleeve and love the GB.... but you will also see people who Hate the band, hate the sleeve and hate GB.... I'm sure you will make the right choice.

@@Smye You caught my attention and then i realized you were a Male... and i almost peed my pants... @@LipstickLady thanks for the visual.... we all know this too well... reminded me of this... Rovobay omg... that's funny right there.

Girl... sell that on Ebay... or bring to a consignment store.... You look like a lady that knows fashion... I'm clueless... i just pick some thing that make me look and feel hot... heheheheh I actually stopped giving to Good will. I give them clothes, they turn around and sell them for pour profit.... so i started donating to organizations that help woman get back on their feet... i also give to woman's shelters and church groups.

@Rovobay.... Thanks, I'm a Leo with a type A personality... so i love love being center of attention.... why are you waiting.... i did the same thing when i started losing. I thought why buy clothes if they will be too big next month..... But then a friend said, girl those clothes look like crap on you... you need to go get something that fit, you know something you have to actually unbutton to take off.... So i did, and they way i felt in the clothes gave me such inspiration to keep losing more and more... So i say to you.... go, buy you some thing that fits... it will make you feel so much better. If you don't want to spend a lot, go to a second hand store... trust me it will be better than what your wearing now. Even though im at 150ish.... i still feel incredibly great today.

@@Graciesmom04 Keep in mind i only had TT and a small amount of lipo on back.... surgery was Feb 15, 2012 and was back at work Feb 27, 2012.... but i have a desk job and a very high tolerance for pain. I stayed over night with a morphine pump and was grateful for it. I slept my first week in my recliner... Day three i was walking down the block and back. After have many surgeries i found that the more i moved around the better i felt. I had zero complications. I also had no drain tubes. My incision was from hip to hip... Not all the way around. I would say my walking was kind of like the Evolution chart... I started out as the monkey way bent over and in two weeks i was walking straight.

@KingMoose... That is awesome... you are a tall one. So i s my hubby... Saw your before and after... you are doing a great job I don't have the body i want right now... but the attention and looks from men/woman is intoxicating....

i stayed over night and im grateful for the person that invented Morphine.... hehehehe. all i had was a TT it was 8800 and i put it on an interest free credit card and paid on it. For me it was better than putting on care credit...

work it girl.....

Remember that episode of Designing Woman when that man made them an "applause" box... you opened the lid and there was an applause.... (season 2, eps. 11 Howard the date) wouldn't that be get if we all had one... when we feel sad we could just open the lid.

@BLERDgirl.... dang girl... you look good.

when i start to feel down and envious of what other have or the way they look.... You know, Damn i wish i was pretty like her or have her body.... I remember..... Envy is the Thief of happiness.

i say.... buy that dresss... new pair of shoes.... work out clothes.... sexy underware.... What ever makes us happy... That's what matters....

Brown Girl.... your funny. My grand daughter was telling me about her best friend at school who is a "brown girl". I'm guessing that's what the schools are teaching now, because my neighbor, who is a Brown boy of 7, calls his friends brown.... that was off subject....lol.... Any who.... I agree with you about the aggressiveness of some of those woman, one of the reasons i stopped selling it. Honestly i bought the Kit because i found out i could buy it all with out selling... and it was cheaper then buying what i want separately... back then the kit was only $99 with free shipping.... lol At the time i was the only person in a 100 miles rad that could sell it.... and people started asking me, and i said why the hell not... so i sold it for a while, made my money back plus some... then other started and the back stabbing began... bye bye... not for me. I saw the Coverfx and wanted to try it... but my skin is sensitive.... and it worries me. Nothing worse than a 46 year old with a broke out face.... hehehe

Im definitely a Clinique girl. I have used it all my life. I started wearing make up around 13. I have tried a few others every now and then, but they never give me the coverage Clinique give me. I use their bb cream age defying cream (#2). Stay-Matte sheer press (stay cream) , soft-pressed powder (new clover), Different Lipstick (surprise). December of 2012 i was introduced to Younique. It's a new company, they only sell on line through a rep. Kind of like Mary-kay...but so much better in my opinion. I am in love with their 3d mascara... as you can tell. and their shadows are pigments which i love love love... they can be worn dry or wet. I use rosewater to do that. the colors are beautiful in matte and shimmers. Like Bare Minerals... but better ingredients and cheaper. Go pull them up on Pintrest and their website. a few of my fav colors... but they have 32 diff. in all... I like shimmers...

I have to get back in the gym and remember that feeling of... Wow, i feel great. I have been horrible about it. But, being about to wear cute workout clothes does make a difference.... I found it made me feel really good about my self and noticing the men/woman noticing me... didn't hurt.

@tiffanymarie6997.... first let me say, you are stunningly beautiful. so here's my 2cents.... because im a tell it like it is type A personality, that believes in telling the truth or not saying anything at all.... I know me and my sharp tongue would have looked her in the face and said..... What did you just say? Did you really just say that i would be prettier if i lost weight? Are you really that ignorant and insensitive....Did you mama not teach you any manners at all. Let me tell you one thing.... I am beautiful too my core, i can lose weight, but you my dear, can't ever change your ugly heart. Then in my best Bon Qui Qui voice.... Said..... Rude... and walked away.

I only had the TT. My garment was something like the attached photo (long tan one). it was nude in color with bra type hook and zipper down each side. I wore it 23 hours a day for 8 weeks. I only took it off to shower and wash/dry it... and i put it right back on. I drank a lot of pineapple juice... i heard it helped with the swelling and i have to admit, it seemed to work for me. I also bought the large maxi-pads... you know the type your grandma and mom wore... and i taped them together over laping and put them across my incision. After my dr. said it was ok to start, i started with strivectin SD. Only because i already had it.... but after, my dr. said any lotion good will do. The key is to keep it moisturized.
