Too tight? too short?

You look great! I understand the feeling unsure of your style and clothing choices. My cousin is getting married next month, and I am now looking for a dress for the wedding. Thankfully the bridal shower was casual, and I was able to wear a nice sundress. One of the great things about living in the sunshine state, a sundress is always a good choice. Now the wedding is a late afternoon wedding with an evening reception with a cocktail hour in between. I bought 2 dresses from a local thrift store, both in a 12. My mother (very very conservative) says, one needs to be taken in, as it is too baggy and the other needs to be shortened to show off my new figure. I was stunned that she wanted me to show more skin, and not get a coverup since it's sleeveless.

It's only too tight and too short if you're in Saudi Arabia!.. otherwise, I'd say it's maybe a bit too loose.. you could go down a size and still look fantastic. I wear a spandex camisole from Walmart and it's AWESOME under my t-shirts.. that way I can wear one that shows off my curves without showing off my bumps and rolls!

I asked my wife last night the same thing. I feel that all if my current shirts feel too small, but they are not. I am used to buying shirts larger to hide my weight, so a normal size shirt that clings still feels weird to me.

Ah yes wearing things that fit! A weird feeling when you are used to wearing things that are loose and stretchy (and stretching them out before you put them on :P)

Oh! By the way, G girl you look great :)

I agree! You, and the shirt, look great! How does it feel when you sit? I tend to find that my shirts fit perfect when I stand, but my shape changes with sitting. It looks great standing. If its comfortable when you sit as well, I'd say you're golden!

It seems to do okay. It's a t-shirt so it stretches but I know what you mean and if didn't sit on my rolled-up tummy or anything :)

I think it looks great! I worry about the fit of my clothes too, and tend to wear things too large for me. I'm making a conscious effort to change that, and I'm glad you are too!

A little worried that my t-shirt is either too tight or too short for my current weight. Honest thoughts please?

I think it looks perfect. I was sleeved 8/13. What is you date?

I was sleeved 8/2. I am losing very slowly but as long as it keeps going down I keep smiling :)

How are you feeling?

      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.
