Today I went cheetah. I am thinking that this skirt may not be as flattering for my new figure as it was my old one. I may keep an eye out for a new basic black skirt. The sweater is probably supposed to be cropped on someone of normal height, but it hits perfectly on me. I do have a white tank top underneath, so that I don’t accidentally flash anyone.

Thank you! It's difficult for me to look at the side image. The tighter jeans show how pouchy my fold-over tummy flap is and how it sticks out like a belleh. The bigger pants don't make the stick out pooch quite so noticeable...but they make me overall look bigger. You know? All magic has a price. LOL. Smaller pants = more thigh compression and smaller looking legs with a tiny bit of thigh gap = tight tummy = poochy belleh. hahahaha

But look at your BUTT!!

Are those butt-lift jeans, or have you been hiding one of your best assets all this time???

No. They are very tight and stretchy though. I will try to remember to take a pic of the tag later. They do really lift my saggy bottom up though! LOL.

You all are looking fabulous. I jumped on the jean jacket band wagon. My old one was to big. So I just got my new one delivered last night. It’s a small, a little big, but will work great with sweaters. Have a great day everyone.

Loving all the jean jackets. Look what you started @Cheeseburgh! We even styled ours the same way @KaysMommy

@FluffyChix I get the tummy trade off, but IMO it's worth it, and IME I feel thinner overall in fitted vs loose clothing. Also, faux Spanx are good for the tummy & the butt! Love the bell sleeves & the mules

@AngieBear Still digging the neutrals. Cute loafers!

@ms.sss I've always wanted Hunter rain boots. I can't justify them, endless drought + limited closet space. :( I suspect I'll be online drunk shopping one day, and they'll be at my door soon after 🤣

@GreenTealael great, now I've added a jean jumpsuit to my must haves. All your fault!

@sillykitty I’m making an Old Navy run today, I bought a few things online to pick up there because of the way they structure their sales. Yesterday I had to purchase online to get a 30% discount, not valid in stores.

I might accidentally run into the houndstooth jacket/blazer you have. I’ve been eyeing that for a month. I forgot to buy it yesterday!

my house is getting a makeover this weekend. We’re getting the first floor painted and I’ve never stressed about color more in my life. I swear I’m dreaming about Benjamin Moore. I hope I picked the right color.

Fashion question:

I’m in all boring dark today apparently! Anyway, my question is about my necklace. Is this something to be worn with a super casual outfit like this, or should it be worn with a more purposeful outfit?

i forgot to attach picture...

@Cheeseburgh I get what you're saying. I don't accessorize a lot, so if I do it feels like "dressing up". That said, I think it looks great with that outfit. Looks totally normal for errand running etc.

      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.
