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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
