So this is a VICTORY!

When I first got this dress in mid-September, I was so psyched bc a medium fit me and I proudly wore it
Well, it’s been in my closet un worn for a few weeks and the difference is AMAZING.

I’ve only lost 11 pounds between the 2 dates.
The left side is today, the right was from about 7 weeks ago.

Ok ... this is a whole different ball game! Way more complex then swapping out some implants!!

The only advice I have is put a blindfold on Mr. F, if that is what it takes, and have yourself a proper workout 🤣

For instance, this is what I wear to bed every night these days. I'm frickin' cold and refuse to take all this off and freeze my ass off for cardio! So just the bare minimum comes off, and sometimes only just pushed aside a little... LOLOLOLzzzz

Yes! Exactly! Somewhere in essential 3-5 lbs I've lost an entire size and a half. Things just bag off me! It's so surreal! I can't even figure out the science behind it cuz we're not supposed to be able to be able to have anabolism and catabolism simultaneously. That's why body builders bulk then cut, and bulk and cut. Right?


Okay so seriously if you figure that out I need to know!

Holy smokes you’re teeny-tiny now.

Gosh so sorry to be MIA! I continue to be so inspired by each one of you and this thread always brings a smile to my face, no matter how difficult the day may be!!! You all look GORGEOUS!!!! And love the fashion inspiration!
Took some pics for a meeting last week. Here's the latest. 20.5mo PO RNY. 130.2lbs Maintenance.
IMG_5084.thumb.JPG.831c6d4aae0eec1a8160478de43d191a.JPG IMG_5085.thumb.JPG.1ceb5c105f22ac61dc57500d90873fce.JPG
My body may have decided to defend a lower set point rather than the 135lbs that I thought it was happy at. I have lost and gained the same 2-5lbs from 130-135lbs for a while now. Just last week I briefly saw 129lbs. Now after a big weekend of fun and frivolity, I came back at only 130.2lbs--which means I may be 2lbs lighter by Friday.
I'm not hatin' on that--honestly. I have wanted to reach my super triple top secret BDG Goal since I started this process. But when it didn't look like I would ever hit my 130lbs goal, I kinda released that into the ether and called maintenance at 135lbs revised goal.
Then I hit 130lbs and revised the revised goal back to 130lbs. But now it looks as if I might actually make 125lbs (super triple top secret Barbie Dream Girl Goal). I'm pretty thrilled at this weight and I love how I look in clothes these days (or at least I'm moving in that direction). My gigantor turkey thighs are slightly less pronounced now. And I asked Mr. F. if he thought I looked too thin or sickly. He said that I didn't. He's very honest and objective, so I know I can go to him as a touchstone with reality.
I bought 3 pairs of size 8 skinny jeans from goodwill this weekend. And I'm actually in between a 6 and an 8--oddly so. The legs fit, but the the little bit of belleh skin doesn't let me fasten them. Wah. Oh well.
I saw my plastics dude last Friday. A bit of a buzz kill. He told me my insurance wouldn't cover the saggy droopy booty, even though it was giving me significant issues. He did say that I have very very little excess fat on my body - as he was looking at me totes nekkidy and that he didn't want me to lose any more. Of course I lied and said, "Swearsies! I'm not plannin' on it!" (wink wink nudge nudge saynomore...)
He still says that I need to wait on my capular contractures in the reconstructed foobs. But he wants me to consider getting nerp tats so I look more like a real gingerbread girl--and less like a Skipper Doll (Barbie's younger annoying kid sister--anotomically incorrect and lacking a kung fu grip). Still chewing on that one. Don't know what to do with that information yet.
Sorry for the book!!! [emoji20]
Holy Moly you look fantastic! I'm especially envious of your legs. Wow!

Traveling... Broke the collar/neck of my favorite coat as I was walking out the door. No time to fix it so I'll be wearing the new one and see how I feel about it.

OOTD: Before and after pics from the gym today (I really just wanted to take a pic in my new fave jean jacket, hence the after pic, LOL).

Note to self: when feeling less than stellar, put on something tight to remind you where you are, and something big to remind you how far you've come.

I bought these rain boots 7 years ago when I was way bigger. My skinny gal pals had these boots and I soooo wanted a pair but I couldn't fit my ginormous calves into them. So when I found out they came in extra-wide calf, I was all over it. But my calf still wouldn't fit into the extra-wide calf size 7 boot. So I got a size 8.5. I gained more weight after and they ended up in the basement.

Fast forward to today, and I'm back in 'em. My foot has also since shrunk to a size 6 so I'm swimming in these babies now. BFF said I should just go get a regular pair that fit me, but I have a strange attachment to them, regardless of how ridiculously clown-looking they look on my feet. Go Figure.

Here's a close up of how much room I've got in there now.

This is what happens when you lose 7.5 inches in circumference there. Ca-Ray-Zee.

      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.
