Is This The Right Dress For Me ?



Recommended Posts

If its a park wedding, also have a look out for heeled wedges, which will save you sinking into the grass.

Wedges will give you the height and can shift the way you carry your weight when you walk to also help you look fantastic on the day.

And as an added bonus, the extra stability will help get over the fear of heels and often save your feet if your standing, walking or dancing alot on the day.

I agree with Missy Bear's advice/opinion on wedges. I still wear wedges every day. They force you to stand up straight and walk tall. They give you confidence AND make you look thinner but are much more comfortable than regular heels/stilettos.

Don't forget to post a new photo from the wedding!

If the dress makes you feel good then you should wear it.

Personally I think you would look nicer and probably be more comfortable in something that was more floaty and not so fitted/clingy.

I think you have my exact body type - our lower stomachs are an issue. I just think the shape, fabric, clinginess are not the most flattering. You should look for an a-line or princess cut gown, tea-length. You have a beautiful figure and I think it would be far more flattering. I know it's close - next time try eBay.

      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.
