I know exactly how you feel! When you do start shopping, you'll probably want to be very conservative with how much you buy. The weight drops like a rock and what fits today may fall off two weeks later!

Oh I know :) It will be thrift store finds until I reach my goal weight!!! But lucky for me the small sizes always have great finds in the thrift store!!! But I keep looking @ VS Pink stuff and Ive never been able to wear it, not even their XL :( Silly goal I know but I so badly want some cute sweat pants hahahah!

I'm 3days out now. But before the surgery, I bought a few pieces that looked great and I had to have. Lol. Since I work at a clothing store part time, I won't be spending a lot.

Hey baby girl,

You work at a clothing store and do not spendwho whole check on clothes? Ohhh I'm such a junkie! I love a few designer pieces mixed in my wardrobe (from my corporate days). Is it a store where a friend discount would be awesome? (wink wink).

I just bought stuff on sale all different sizes. It's also nice to borrow clothes from friends and sisters. I was lucky my sister gave me a ton of clothes that she didn't fit in anymore and they got me through for a few months. Also belts are my best friend! I love shopping now I have to keep myself out of the mall lol. I spend to much time getting ready in the am now lol. I think I'm most excited about wearing dresses:-).

I have thought about buying a few pieces of cloths but, since i live at work it will be an interesting battle with the boss to get new shirts as my weight drops LOL.

No one should ever, ever, ever wear a speedo unless they are competitive swimming or diving;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
