Another NSV for me! Wearing a dress!



Recommended Posts

A dress I was able to find in their clearance section in a size 12! I was so excited!! Shopping has been so awkward actually looking in the "standard size" sections and grabbing a size too big instead of too small. It's taking my brain some time to adjust to look for a large or even a medium sometimes instead of 2XL. post-257611-14704373843926_thumb.jpg

I always knew it was black and white!! All kidding aside, you look great!! I, too, feel like an imposter in the regular section. It's such a weird feeling!

Haha my husband said the same thing. He's like isn't that the dress everyone was debating about?! Lol guess it's still popular

I also feel like an imposter in the standard size stores also. I still feel like people will stare at me and be like whys this girl shopping here?

I also have a hard time dressing myself because I really started packing the pounds on at 27 transitioning into wife and mom phase, so now at almost 33 I know that I shouldn't be looking at the junior section even though I think some things are cute but in my head I'm like am I too old for this look? lol

I've always been a curvy girl and so I always carried my weight in my breasts and in my hips and thighs. So I've always been proportionate to say the least. But I would love to lose 100lbs in total. I think I would be ultimately happy in the 150-155 range. But I may need to get a breast reduction to achieve that! And thank you for the compliment! There is always room for improvement! Congrats on your surgery 28lbs down already is amazing!

You look amazing and at 33 you can totally shop in the juniors section. A little bit! Be a fashion editor and pick out a few pieces.

      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.
