@@richieoneal411@gmail.com How are you deciding what size to choose? I was thinking of buying a goal outfit but unsure what size to make it. I really want to wear leggings and tall boots!

@@Seahawkgirl I definitely have a goal size I'm trying to get to after surgery and for that I do have a goal outfit, but I'm also prepping by buying clothing of different sizes just to have as options such as tees sweats undergarments I currently wear a 4x 5x size so I'm doing light shopping for those type of pieces in 2x 1x range

[Seahawkgirl 129]

Lord, I wear 3X, but I have 2X, 1X and XL waiting for me to work my way down. I don't think I saved anything smaller than that on my last few trips up and down the yo yo string. Maybe I'll buy a goal outfit in a Large and then hope I get to choose a smaller goal outfit after that! Large! That seems crazy right now!

Me too!!! I was talking to my aunt the other day and we decided that once I'm at a size where I can zip up riding boots from a normal store she's going to buy me a nice pair. I can't wait to be able to wear boots, leggings, and a tunic I'm glad I've been saving jeans over the years so hopefully I'll have some to wear at the in-between stages. I'm in the 22/24 range right now and I think I have some saved down to size 16. I'm thinking that consignment is going to be my friend over the next year, no sense is spending a lot of money on clothes that won't fit.

I am having the same thoughts. My wish list includes a nicely fitted (not tight but fitted) black turtle neck with jeans. I know that sounds so simple, but I have all but given up fitted sweaters at this point.

I may watch the sale racks now for a good deal on my sweater for Winter 2015. Just imagine where we will all be then.

@@mykdzmom That's a great idea about the sale racks. I can't wait to be able to buy clothes from normal stores. Right now my style is pretty limited by what fits me, I'm excited to develop more of a personal style afterwards!

My husband kept telling me to get rid of the clothes in our closet that no longer fit me. I just couldn't bare to part with them! It will be such a joy to get rid of all the "fat Lorrie clothing" - knowing I'll never go back there again!!

I can't wait for the day when I'll be able to shop in the Women's section, they have such a selection of cute clothes to chose from! Shopping is going to be fun again!!!

[mykdzmom 388]

I can't wait either. Imagine using your closet for the close you wear rather than a shrine to the sizes you used to wear... Lol

Lol, sorry clothes...

Not sure if I am going to be April, May or June... But I will say hi anyway! I am Melissa, I am almost 37, married 11 yrs to my college boyfriend. We have 2 boys, 6.5 and almost 10. I have been doing WW since 2011, hence why I am not sure of the date. Go Seahawks! ????

[mclorrie 219]

Hi Mel!

Welcome!

If you've been doing WW since 2011 - you probably won't need to have any Dr. supervised weight loss appts! Lucky you! Keep us posted on when you get your surgery date. I'll be finished with my supervised appts. in May so I'm really hoping to be sleeved in June! Have a good weekend!

[Seahawkgirl 129]

Just checking in. I have my 4th NUT appt on Monday, and expect to be down about 20 lbs from when I started. We'll see. Halfway through this supervised plan - Mar/Apr/May and I'm ready to go! Getting excited!

[theotherfatgirl 134]

Had my psych evaluation and nutrionist consulation first time I got excited cause now I'm like yes this is really happening

[LindsB 37]

Hey guys! I guess I should update now that this process is officially rolling. I go see the cardiologist this week and NUT and the upper GI endoscopy next week. I have to call Monday to schedule my sleep study. Because I'm self-pay, my surgeon says I'll likely need only a couple NUT visits and when I spoke to my case manager she echoed that especially because I've been doing so much research and already started to implement a high Protein low carb diet. We'll see! So there is a possibility that I'm looking at a May date now!!!

How is everyone's process going?

[mclorrie 219]

Hi everyone! I had my psych eval, & he cleared me for surgery. I attended group yesterday (required to attend one meeting by my surgeon). Fourth Nut appt. in two weeks! Then two more to go! Can't believe how quickly everything is going! I'm super excited!
