Reflections and NSV



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I have been feeling down of late. I have pulled myself out of the funk and am looking life through different eyes now. I will not let other peoples attitudes destroy my self-esteem and self-worth. I have worked too hard to get where I am now. I also will not let my relationships with other people define who I am. Enough said on that subject.

To the reason I am posting today. I went to Target to do some shopping (I do that when I get depressed). I saw they had the bathing suits out already so I decided to go look at them. LOLOLOL!!!! I mean really Target having a bathing suit I would want to be seen in much less be able to wear, give me a break. OK so I start looking at the styles and sizes. They have some really cute ones this year. I pick out a size 18 in black of course and try it on. TOO BIG!! The girls aren't supported at all and my butt cheeks aren't no where near covered. LOL!! So I get dressed and think there is no way in hell I can fit into a size smaller. I must be in that in-between sizes. So I grab a 16 and try it on. IT FITS!!!! Cute halter style with the bottoms to match. NO NOT A BIKINI. It is a Tankini which I Love those things. Then I get to the hotel room and try it on again cause I still can't quite believe it and I see it isn't even a 16W but a straight 16. WHOO HOO!! I am so thrilled. Watch by the time summer rolls around I won't even be able to wear this one. That is OK I can bring it to the Vegas swap. LOL!!

Love you guys

Too Cool! Nothing like shopping and have a NSV as well, to get you out of a funk.

I love Tankini's especially with "boy shorts" bottoms

Penni, glad to hear you are out of your funk. You are so right, you have come to far to let anyone destroy that!

The only thing I don't like about Tankinis are the name. Why the hell do they call big woman suits Tanks? Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Penni, how 'bout posting a pic... you don't even have to be in the suit, but lemme see it. Do they have pink ones?

Ok Penni, since it seems like we're "boobie sisters", I need to ask... does THAT suit top hold the girls up and keep them in the right place???

If so, Im on my way to Target!

Paula: Yeah this top really holds them in place. If I get enough gutz I would wear that bathing suit top as a top to go with jeans or a nice skirt as well. IT really keeps the girls in place. I was surprised.

They have all kinds of colors. Pink, Black, Purple, Green, Brown, Red, etc. I want a Pink one so I will go to the Target when I get home.

I am going away this weekend with John to Cambria for two nights. So I might get him to take a pic then. LOLOL!!! Then again maybe not.

Penni, great for you, and finding one at Target to boot. If I wore a halter top like that, my neck would snap from the weight of the puppies.

      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.
