I'll be wearing my last-year's tankini. Black. I like the tankini for several reasons, not the least is that when the top slips up and shows off my oh-so-sexy tummy it freaks out my skinny girlfriends that I'm not freaked out.

I've been to Hippie Hollow!

Years ago.

When I was skinny.

And a hippy.

Instead of a hippo.

Hippie to Hippo?

OMG, Donna, you are hilarious!

Now self-deprecating humour is not just my specialty, I see you love it too.

Hey Hippie Hollow - isn't that near Austin? Some Past or Current Texans in the house?

Happy Band (And Life ) Journeys To All....

I bought a new one-piece swimsuit last summer that will do for this summer. It isn't all that glam, but NEXT summer, I 'm going for a tankini. They are soooo cute. By then I should be retired and I want to look a lot better than the old ladies I will probably be hanging out with. :heh: :heh:

I was quite surprised that I felt more anxiety over swimming in public this summer than I have ever felt before (at 330 lbs). Eric (DH) said it was because of the hanging flabby stuff ( this seems to be showing up the more I exercise and build up muscle).

He thinks PS will fix my head- but I doubt it- It will always be a one piece for us (me and my 8 " bat wings)

I can identify with that. I was trying on swimwear yesterday, its just hit the shops here (in the middle of winter). Oh. My. God. Sigh.

My head is still stuck in my 20's, my body is careering towards 40, lol.

Tankini and boarshorts for me, I have developed the most awful saddlebags somewhere in the last 10 years. But I will have to buy online, I need a swimsuit top that will handle a pair of DD's and has an underwire. No matter what I did I just couldnt stuff my bosoms into the tops I tired on.

Luckily I've found some really nice online stuff, not grandma bathers at all. I've changed my mind about cosmetic surgery. There is most definitely going to be some Lipo going on here. I'll have to wait till I'm working (3 years).

OK, after having a wardrobe malfunction a few week ago in the ocean, last year swimsuit went by by. so it is a pair of shorts and a sports bra for the rest of the summer. by the way the suit was a one piece, the girls came out of hiding.

No more one piece Tent Dress swimsuits for me! I first bought a two piece tankini with boy shorts. I now have two tankinis with teeny weenie bottoms. I love them! I don't even bother with the cover-up anymore!

      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.
