Upon Reaching Goal Weight



Recommended Posts

I can total relate to not being able to have my own style and just buy what fits. I always accepted it but now that I'm on the losing side, I'm totally ready! I want to buy stuff from a normal store or even Target something that I can wear and love not just accept.

Yes. I hope to buy from Old Navy. I also want to feel pretty in dresses rather than frumpy. Next year we are getting Target in Canada and I hope it will be an inexpensive place to buy clothes. I'm so tired of paying $50 for pants and $50 for a top

at plus size stores. I want to be able to pick where I shop and get a better deal.

I want to raid my moms closet. She had RNY 9 years ago and has the cutest clothes. She's between a size 10-12. I can't wait. Also to buy a cute bathing suit.

That's good. I hope we get the same products and deals when Target opens here. I heard the US has more option for plus sized stores. We basically have three stores owned by the same company ...if you need higher plus sized clothing.

I want to have a family picture taken that I actually put out on display! And I want to buy a pair of Tom's shoes. Tried a pair on and they look ridiculous with my fat legs and little feet.

I can not wait to buy all the cute clothes that never fit anymore and have my own style... I've always only worn what fits which is always dresses! I haven't worn jeans in over a year because I hated how they looked on me.

Oh and have shoes that don't get ruined because I apparently lean on them a certain way that that ruins a certain portion of the shoe

Still trying to figure out what I want or what I want to do.

I'm not big on roller coasters ,new skinny jeans would be nice,

But I think what I would like to do is to take a second Honey Moon with my wife to Hawaii and be able to walk down the beach shirtless and not be ashamed of how I look.

after I lose 100 lbs...I want to go horseback riding. After 200 lbs I want to go to an amusement park that isn't Disney (Disney rides are what I call Fat People friendly) and ride all the roller coasters!

I can only buy clothes at 3 stores near my area... Lane Bryant, Avenue and Catherines... and I cant make purchases often because of the cost of the clothing! I can not afford $46 for a single shirt or $52 for one pair of pants! Its crazy!!!

      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.
