Recommended Posts

Okay here's the thing. I'm a Jersey Girl : ) and I work for the State... I plan on having my surgery the end of January and it's COLD!!! So I'm wondering what will I wear back to work this winter. I'm eating better now and losing a little here and there and I have the 2 week prep diet then the surgery and post diet. So when I return to work I can't go in looking like a Rag Doll.... :blush: and it 's to cold to wear a dress, now that I think about it I hardly wear dresses I think I have 2 work appropriate ones :unsure: Gosh I need help! I'm starting to worry about every little thing... Blahhh

I am not post-op, so I'm no expert. But based on what I've seen and heard, my best guess would be that you're gonna be smaller, but your clothes now should still look okay. Might be looser, but shouldn't be too bad.

I will be two months out in two days, and I am down 44 lbs from my weight on B-Day. I thought I had enough in the way of old clothes to get me through the winter, but I have gone down four sizes around my waist since I started in June. I don't look so good in a dress either. But if you are talking two months, you'll be into March, right? It should be a little warmer in Joisey by then.

Lmbo @@LittleBill it will still be cold in here we don't warm up until May. Maybe I can get sweater dresses and tights. And if by any chance you decide to put on a little Black dress please tag me in the pic I can always use a good laugh. ????☺

I've been shopping in my own closet so far. Lol I'm about to the end of that though. My daughters closet is next. ..if she won't be scared for life that is. I really don't want to spend a lot on clothing I'm only going to wear for a month or two. I've been meaning to go to some resale shops, just haven't had time yet.

I need to go find an old picture. And as you might suspect, it has a story. It ain't a little black dress, but it will be along the same lines.

@@Raymia Oh yeah, I'm in eastern PA, so I know how March can be.

@@Raymia Many years ago, I got into an online argument with a very good friend of mine in real life about art. It was on a woodworking forum where we were both professionals. He was emphatic about all art needing to be appreciated, while I countered that just because it was art didn't make it good art. I wrote, "If I put on a pink tutu and danced across the stage, it would be art, but it would NOT be good art!"

Well, a whole bunch of mutual friends and acquaintances started egging me on. They wanted to see me in the tutu. So one night, when I had too much to drink and not enough to do, I went looking for a tutu picture. I corralled Mrs. LittleBill into helping me (against her will) and we photoshopped my head onto the body of some poor little girl in an online catalog for ballet supplies. It created quite a stir on our forum, and earned me a reputation for doing outrageous things. This picture is close to 15 years old.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
