I have no pic, but have to share with someone! I ordered a pair of”wide calf” boots that I’ve been eyeing FOREVER - got them about a month ago and couldn’t even come close to zipping them up over my apparently overly-wide calves. I’m three days out from surgery and thought I’d try again - today the zipper went up all the way! It was a little snug in the widest part, but I know that soon I’ll be wearing them for real!!!! 😀👍🏽

Sorry. But we want pics or it didn't happen! hehe

Congrats! Now start posting. We need entertainment. And watching you shrinky dink day by day is enormously good times for us!

Thank you so much for saying this. One of the reasons that I post in here is as a mental exercise to battle dysmorphia. I’m not the type to look in a mirror and give myself positive affirmations, but taking pictures of my outfits is something I can do. It helps with mentally mapping out my body. I’d have to say the dysmorphia is still there, but I suspect it’s far better than I would have if I didn’t participate here.

My hope was that we’d have more people posting as they lose. I think it’s so important to love yourself where you are now, spend even a bit of money on some nice thrift store clothes as you shrink so that you feel confident in your skin, and Celebrate the work you are putting in. I chose to have bariatric surgery not because I hated myself and where I was, but because I love myself and wanted the freedom that not being MO brings. Like it or not, the world is cruel to people who are MO. It’s personal as well as systemic.

Anyhoo, enough rambling! Here is today’s outfit. I need to tailor the blazer’s sleeves a bit, but I think otherwise it hits well on my hips, and I can officially close it over my chest now! So, I got to pull it out of my “to shrink into” bin last night.

Love this outfit on you. You have an adorable figure and style! And love what you wrote. I'm so glad you've shared your journey with us!

Travel day today. You've seen all these pieces separately, including my bf's favorite jeans 🤣(Another airport bathroom selfie as well!)

Casual business dinner once I arrive, might switch to my snakeskin boots if I feel up to it.

Where did you get the top? I see some shopping in my future.

You always look so trendy. I feel so out of touch. You are right about the dysmorphia. I am wearing size 4 jeans (Old Navy) and see others on here at the same weight/height but I think they look thin and I don't see myself that way at all. The other day I googled the average size of a woman's thigh. I was shocked to see I totally fit in with the average.

Don't leave me hangin'. What is it? Spill it! ((hugs)) You are tiny! I'm 2 inches taller than you and there is no way I could even think about squeezin using the jaws of life to get into a size 4. My mighty teradactile thighs laugh at the idea.

You look great. I was thinking about ordering a pair too but then i thought "what if they stretch out my jeans and then if I don't wear them then my pants will really be saggy". Maybe I will and just have one pair of jeans just for these.

It's just foam, so I don't think it would have the power to stretch out jeans permanently. Worst case, I am sure a run through the washer and dryer would take care of it.

At the top (widest part 20.5), it's the same weather I'm sitting or standing. I have a thigh gap for the first time ever but in shorts, yikes hello wrinkles. That's why for me ideally I think if I gained 5-10 lbs. to fill in a bit I would look better.

I think Old Navy runs larger. However my waist is still larger compared to my hips etc so. I am trying to build up muscle in my hips, gluts, thighs to get more curves.

🤣🤣🤣

Business meeting was with two women today, so doubt they had the effect you are imagining. Also doubt my booty was even seen between jacket, angles and sitting. Good test run though. I feel confident with your guys "not fake looking" feedback to wear it again, when my booty might be on display!

I find tops at ON run large, but not bottoms. If it helps your BDD, I weigh about the same as you, but am an inch taller. I wear size 6 pants at ON.

@sillykitty Love the booty! Looks amazing! Nails look great, too! Festive!

@sillykitty We are almost the exact same in stats and I agree although I noticed my pixie pants were a size 8 last night and my old navy jeans are size 6. Gap is owned by the same company and I wear a 4 with them.

Makes no sense.
