My Goal to wear a formal gown



Recommended Posts

Ok I was a heavy teenager and painfully shy. I never got asked to formal dances EVER. I was out shopping with my teenager sister last night who is preparing for her 5th formal dance since starting highschool (she is a senior). The dresses there were so gorgeous and I started really feeling sorry for myself for never having worn one. So I have found a new goal!!! When I get to my goal weight, I'm going to go to the ball at my university with my hubby (gee he'll love being dragged to that! lol) but I just want to recapture a bit of my youth and experience something I missed out on.

What do ya think???

Sounds like a good goal to me...

I expect that by my next wedding anniversary, I will be able to fit into my gown. That will be exciting. After 18 yrs - being able to fit back into that will be GREAT. I guess I will have to make my hubby take me someplace fantastic!

:]

Great goal! I actually can fit into my wedding dress now and its loose in the waist (not up top though)!!! I can understand I was always heavy and never went to a formal dance in school either. You can do it, and tell hubby to at least pretend like he enjoys it when it's time!!! LOL

I think that is a fabulous idea. I really miss my teenage years, especially high school. It was so darn fun renting tuxes, getting the dress, taking an hour and a half to get ready. Go to a nice dinner beforehand and rent a limo too. You will have a blast. YOu can do this!

      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.
