What will your 'style' be at your goal weight?



Recommended Posts

Hi all.

I have had the best time looking at different kinds of clothes that I will (hopefully) be able to wear this time next year. I have been overweight for the last 20 years, and I certainly cant wear those styles anymore. I feel like I have been stuck in layers and stretchy jeans forever. I really havent even paid much attention to fashion because I dont feel like they look the same on me, at my size now. I can't wait to buy a pencil skirt suit to wear to work, along with a white button down the front shirt with a belt around my waist (assuming I still have one of those lol).

Anyway....just something fun to think about while waiting for time to pass.

What kind of clothing are you excited to wear that you cant right now???

For work I want to wear layers, like a sweater or suit jacket, that don't bunch up, ride up, constrict me, or make me look bigger. Blouses that define the waist. A feminine skirt suit. Maybe some nice professional trousers that don't have an elastic waist.

For home and casual I want to wear skinny jeans with sporty sweaters (like Chaps, Lauren, Jones New York), long sleeve t-shirts with pretty scarves (love the scarf look). A nice short or car-length wool coat and some short leather boots. And a pretty wool hat - not a cap, but a real hat with a brim.

And I really, really, really want a classy (and sexy) little black dress and a pair of shoes with kitten heels. :-)

And a tattoo! I'm currently the only one in my family without one...

      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.
