Thanks ♥️

...but the position of my arm is hiding my glorious batwing. And the loose skin on my stomach is much more prominent in real life. Though I'm relatively good with it for now. I mean, I did wear this outfit in PUBLIC. lol. I would never have dared do this before. I wouldn't have even walked around in something like this in the privacy of my own home.

Damn.

Am I the only one that DGAF? I will wear whatever I want, whenever without care as to how my loose skin, arms, etc *might* look to others

I'm super satisfied with my clothed body these days and buy a size I know I can fit.

Summer is gonna get the body I give it

I do still GAF, but there are some concessions I am not very willing to make these days. Cuz I feel like, "Gah! If you're offended by my wrinkly batwings that wave in the wind, you shoulda seen me 190lbs ago! LOL. I'll show you offended!" LOL. So I do wear shorts and sleeveless shirts. :) Yay!

BUT! LOL, I can say I have a serious case of the T-Rex or praying mantis arms. I rarely wave my arms out and up over my head in a sleeveless shirt. LOL. (in public). :D

Cute outfits everyone! I swear everything I own is stripes or polka dots. I also don’t know if I should tuck/untuck or French tuck so I just wing it.

I’m feeling preppy today.

I had a conversation about this with a pal the other day. We were talking about my planned arm lift later this year. She asked me why i felt the need to get it done, and that I should not care what anyone else thinks.

I explained that I don’t care what anyone else thinks (Edit: I also care about what those near and dear to me think, like Mr and the Kid, but they think i’m awesome under all circumstances, so it’s all good ❤️), but I care alot about what I think. Like the sleeve surgery, I didn't do it for other people, I did it for me.

I really dislike my flappy arms. Its a feature of my body that I try to camouflage, like an annoying pimple in the middle if my forehead. Now, Im not going to circle this pimple with a red sharpie, but I will probably put some concealer on it. Lol.

Tuck. Always tuck. Shows off your figure :)

More in-service today! Yesterday was a rough day in general, emotional fatigue city. There were a number of people that came to me with trauma, unrelated to the in service we had in the afternoon. So, I guess yesterday’s outfit made me look approachable, which is good. Today should be more positive.

I fit in these jeans now! And while I love the linen jacket I’m wearing, it’s getting a bit floppy. That’s the downside of the weightloss, saying goodbye to so many cute clothes!

Ummm, ignore the ridiculous number of cans of kitty food behind me. I promise I’m not an animal hoarder! I foster pregnant cats and kittens.

Clothing question. So if you shop now for a size 6/8/10 or small top and lose another 10 pounds can you still wear those clothes like you did at 200 pounds with an x-large too or size 16 pants? How many pounds once you get so close to a normal BMI do you need the next smaller size? Just trying to figure out current verses probable future size.

Thanks! And you are right. Under the bed I have a couple of bins with my “to shrink into” clothes. It’s getting pretty empty in there, so it’s time to go to Goodwill and see what’s there! And maybe ModCloth clearance, and ummm Anthropologie clearance.....

And yes, you need new clothes!

        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
