Sharpei. Hilarious. @FluffyChix. I say I have a Hank Hill butt - need those sand filled butt pockets. (King of the Hill ref) but I will use sharpei for my arms, legs & tummy.

Experiencing some frustration on my Melbourne shopping extravaganza. Needed smaller sizes but they didn’t have many clothes in size 0 (Aussie 6) in one store but then size small are too small in other stores. Am getting a pair of pants & a top tailored - easy when it’s only one size & simple construction.

This was for dinner last night. Yes, I do wear a lot of black!

Nice Dress! (my closet is full of dark colours too ;) )

Good Morning all you beautiful people. You all look great as always. I had my sister in law post a memory on Facebook from a year ago. What a difference a year makes when I decided to get back on track. I hope you all have a great day, and are nice a warm instead of the 10 degrees I woke up to this morning. You all give me so much inspiration. Thank you.

Um, I think YOU are the inspiration. The fact that you could accomplish this Before and After 8 YEARS down the road is amazing. You rock, lady.

Pressed for time, and so much to catch up on! Apologies to anyone I missed

@Sophie7713 Your joy absolutely shines through. I'm so glad you have found so much happiness in this new svelte and healthy you!

@GreenTealael Sunshine is your color 😂

@BayougirlMrsS I used to be envious of your boobs, till I bought my own. Now I'm coveting your cheekbones!

@Healthy_life2 Sooo glam! I agree, what excess skin??

@FluffyChix Way too late to the party, but I liked the floaty shirt. I think super fitted sleek bottoms would balance out the top. Can you wear heels? That would ramp up the sexy factor as well.

PSA ... Macy's is having a flash shoe sale today, some incredible deals. And it's the last day for Nordstrom's semi annual sale (I may buy some completely unnecessary Hunter rain boots, they're a classic, right??)

You are so sweet.... @sillykitty

You look amazing @KaysMommy. What an achievement. Before & after photos are sooo inspirational.

Ha @FluffyChix. I totally relate. I say I have a butt but it’s half way down my thighs now.

I think everything I’ve bought in Melbourne is black too. I’ll wear another colour when they find something darker than black! Tee hee.

Picked up some vintage Japanese designer pieces for work. Dress is circa 1992 and the skirt from 1997. Excellent condition - never worn. Someone said to me today: gosh you are tiny aren’t you. Never ever heard that before.

And what I wore last night. Same shoes. The shirt is a great faux wrap that sits on the waist at the front but is tucked in at the back.

Smoke from the terrible fires coming over Melbourne CBD yesterday.

Love your style @Arabesque, I'd totally wear everything you posted here!

Also, I've been watching the news about the fires...I sincerely hope it gets under control soon. Seeing the smoke infiltrating the CBD scary. Are they giving the city dwellers any instructions or warnings at this point?

Thanks! I’ve been losing again as well. I’m 15 lbs away from my goal, which is mind boggling.

Gorgeous down under. Your outfit is so elegant right down to the polished toes! Hope you and your property are safe. Our national news coverages here look pretty serious. Be well and take good care. BTW, I am having the same dilemma with clothes shopping.

So a couple weeks before xmas I ordered a pair of these faux leather leggings after I saw the awesome pic @BayougirlMrsS posted of herself wearing a pair. They were delivered just after I got my PS done so I hadn't had a chance to try them on... until today! I've still got my compression garments on so you can see the outline of my stomach binder through the material, but all in all I love 'em!

Totally looking forward to actually wearing them outside of the house as soon as my swelling goes down (right now from the side I look about 3 months pregnant).

I put on a pair of boots just for this picture, but duh, I failed to put a shirt on to cover my upper body compression garments. Though the end result made me look and feel like a super-hero or something, LOL...just need a mask and a cool comic book name...

        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.

    • 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
