One thing I think about when I lose the weight is going on a shopping spree! All new smaller, cuter clothes! Who is with me and what's the first thing you would want to buy?

Mine is panties and bras!!! =)

I already have that planned. I'm a huge fan of Dressbarn because their clothes fit me like they are tailor made. Saying that, the store manager knows me REALLY well considering how much money I leave in there every month. I told her I was going to have to do a big spree when I got to my goal weight. She offered to come in early or stay late while the store was shut down and let me come in and have at it. Now isn't that great? I'm not sure I want to inconvenience her like that, but doesn't that sound awesome? Having a whole store to yourself?

For me, jeans, definitely jeans. I have my size 10 skinny jeans in the closet which I will wear but I've always wanted to splurge on a pair of 7 or True Religion jeans.

I love dress barn! That's so cool they are willing to do that for you!! My mom has offered to pay for a large chunk of my shopping trip, she's almost as excited as me!! I'm picturing a "pretty woman shopping spree" moment!! =)

Totally Pretty Women! I'm socking away my cash already so I plan on having a blow out on anything I like and want to buy whether it's $200 or $2,000. Of course, Victoria's Secret is located conveniently next door so you bet your booty that will be my next stop!

I used to wear jeans and t-shirts when I was thinner and although I still wear that, I can't wait to buy them in smaller sizes and feel good about what I have on. I always seem to feel "frumpy" in them now. I can't wait to feel "cute"!

I want to be able to shop in a normal sized section of a department store instead of a Lane Bryant, Ave, or plus sized store or section. Can't wait. As far as body image goes, I have really big hips and legs and upper arms, always have so at some point I will have to have skin removed, I do not think any amount of exercise can tighten what I have. With that said, my hips have shrunk a lot in 7 months. I also want to be able to wear a cute right about the knee sweater dress with tights and be able to fit into some boots, right now my legs are too big. And most of all, off the subject, I'm single/divorced so I wanna be hit on by a single male...teeheee. Just had to throw that one in, who knows I may find him in the clothing store. Bahahaha

Don't even get me started on shoes! I have a bunch of 4 inch heel shoes, sandals, and boots that I wore in my size 12 days. Can't wear them now because the weight makes my feet hurt. But I'll be dusting those off again soon too. Don't have a pair of animal prints though so that might be something to add to the list.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
