Better than being addicted to Oreos. No guilt.

THAT may be one of the biggest things I'm looking forward too... I hope the girls, rib cage etc shrink enough for me to fit.

All my married life -- VS came into being after I'd been married a while... Hubby walks by and says "come on try one on... " He has no idea how humiliating that statement is.. They don't make them big enough for me... so NOW.... Surgery 5/18..... I'll be so sad if I can't SHOP THERE.....

Trust me, you'll get there! In no way will this behind ever be in a thong or see a bikini but my first purchase was a PINK hoodie. I adore it. It was a small fortune but I got 15% off. First bra was $50 than yesterday I got 2 for $50 and they fit just as well and are pretty. Now, the skin under these lovely garments isn't so lovely but you know what? You live once! Go for it. I know you getting ready for surgery may have doubts...don't, everything will be okay. To those of you with new sleeves...you'll be at VS in a year I bet. C'mon ladies, it's a new challenge. It's the VS challenge. Even if it's for a pair of cute panties. Go!!!

I JUST celebrated 100+ lbs lost with a bra and panties from VS! I've never bought anything from there because I've always been too big. I almost had an anxiety attack looking for someone to measure me. But she was SO nice and helpful. While my boobs have shrunk, it was almost not enough. She measured me at 38DDD which is the largest size they carry in the store. I got to choose from 4 colors. I'm very happy with my purchase! I absolutely love the panties. They are super comfy and cute.

I had to get measured too. I was shocked. I went from a 38 dd to a 38 C! I kept saying "did you say C???"

I still had doubts when I brought it home. It was so tiny. I'll be damned the cute little thing fit and even held in the side boobs ;)

Now I have this very flimsy white tee I got on big clearance at Kohl's. Double v neck. I put it on over my cute little pink striped bra and wore it that way. It's padded so there was no nippleage. I felt sexy and I'm far from sexy. Throw your change in a jar ladies. Save up for a VS purchase. Feel sexy too.

@@libbyyum I haven't been comfortable of confident in heels for years but my boss and best friend steered me toward them. We went to DSW and I saw a pair of heels I loved. When I told her that although I could walk a few steps in the store I did not see myself wearing them to work. She suggested I check out the wedges...so I did. I found the Born Wedges to be comfortable and sturdy and branched out from there. I'm still not going to run in them but I do wear them regularly for my work day and I feel a little sexier in them :)

Following that trip she told me we could go to lunch anywhere I wanted to and I told her i wanted to go to DSW-lol. I bought the high heels i loved the first day for myself and they are still in my closet waiting.

@@MissLiss, I LOVE Born shoes. So cute and comfy. And when I was finally down below a size 40 band size, I went straight to VS and bought two new bras. They are almost too big so I will have to get fitted again and will happily spend $100 on two more and so on until I am at goal. They are the best bras and I decided no more Walmart bras -- too many years I bought those ones "while am losing weight" and didn't lose the weight. Now I'm buying pretty ones!

I'm a born thrifter. I love goodwill and such. I'm not ashamed to say I've boughten bras at those places. I figure I've "earned" that splurge on myself.

I wore high heeled boots to my mom's memorial almost 3 weeks ago. My back hurt but it felt GREAT!

I have a balance issue disease but I'll be damned if I let it dictate. I took a baby step and bought a darling pair (new...lol) of wedge filpflops for a graduation.

Now I want a ankle Bracelet. Lol.

I forgot how it felt to be girlie!!!

      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.
