I decided to be brave, or stupid to represent us older women. I am wearing workout gear not a bikini. I’m never going to have the same body I had in my 20’s through 40’s but I feel really healthy now. It’s never too late.

I was born in 1960 (I’ll be 59 in 2 months) and this body has been through a lot lol.

Most 20's-40's would kill for that body. You look fantastic!

I swear I do wear clothes other than workout clothes haha but I’m in love with these leggings 😍 so I decided to share them on OOTD ! I’m also fully aware that in place of a butt I just have a long back 😂

Yes, for a bari-patient, you still have a very nice booty! Some of the rest of us just have layers of wrinkles where a butt used to be! 😭

lol, I think we just coined a new phrase: “bari-booty”.

Here is my today work outfit.
Pants are too big, but I’m waiting now for a bit of cooler weather before I get more.

Does anyone on this thread know how to sew/alter/tailor clothes?

No, and I have to have a lot of my clothes altered, because I'm short :(

I use my dry cleaner for the simple stuff, not too pricey, but it adds up. For anything that is more complicated than hemming I take it to an actual tailor, and that is expensive!

I can sew but my alteration skills are minimal.

Buying new clothes for one size difference or using a tailor: It adds up!

I'll try to find beginner DIY alteration tutorials and put them up for anyone interested.

      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.
