I JUST celebrated 100+ lbs lost with a bra and panties from VS! I've never bought anything from there because I've always been too big. I almost had an anxiety attack looking for someone to measure me. But she was SO nice and helpful. While my boobs have shrunk, it was almost not enough. She measured me at 38DDD which is the largest size they carry in the store. I got to choose from 4 colors. I'm very happy with my purchase! I absolutely love the panties. They are super comfy and cute.

They need to ban me from the store or stage an intervention. Got two more bras and panties. Panties are for after Tummy Tuck. Omg I love their bras! I'm in love with that little pink bag and tissue paper!!!

Trust me, you'll get there! In no way will this behind ever be in a thong or see a bikini but my first purchase was a PINK hoodie. I adore it. It was a small fortune but I got 15% off. First bra was $50 than yesterday I got 2 for $50 and they fit just as well and are pretty. Now, the skin under these lovely garments isn't so lovely but you know what? You live once! Go for it. I know you getting ready for surgery may have doubts...don't, everything will be okay. To those of you with new sleeves...you'll be at VS in a year I bet. C'mon ladies, it's a new challenge. It's the VS challenge. Even if it's for a pair of cute panties. Go!!!

I totally get this. I don't feel like I have lost weight but I have gone from a size 3x to a XXL so I know I have lost. Feels weird.

I've had 2 women who I view as small/average who've offered me clothes than say "I don't think they'll fit you, your smaller than me!" What a shocking, thrilling experience. Man I must carry my weight well because I'm so not their size and definitely not their weight. I'm guessing I'm at least 30 lbs heavier.

I like the Dannon Light and Fit Greek. 80 calories 12 proteins!! Key Lime!!!!!

To my knowledge, everyone's doctor told them to wait 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after eating before you drink anything. This is designed to ensure the liquid you are drinking does not wash the food through your stomach quickly, which would then allow you to eat more. Eating and drinking at the same time won't hurt you as long as you are paying attention to how much you're eating. If you just happily much away while sipping Fluid, you'll certainly consume more and your sleeve will be less effective.
As a note, that is one of the rules I never followed. I don't do dry mouth and eating. My opinion is that life is to be enjoyed and if I have to sit through every meal with a dry mouth for the rest of my life, there is no fun in that. I am very cognizant of how much I eat and I drink with every meal. I have not had the experience where I eat too much because I happen to drink at the same time and I am way happier eating my few bites of food when I can drink at the same time.

What a great feeling, right?! I too would role my eyes when people would say, "You're so tiny." I often respond with quips like, "You're crazy!" It took a long time to accept that I was not a big girl anymore. I am getting plastics in about 5 weeks. My doctor said I will go down another size or two...and I am already down to a 6!!!
My advice: Accept it! Own it! Work it!!!

Isn't that weird how that happens? I'm experiencing a little of it right now. I used to roll my eyes a little at people who claimed they didn't feel they looked smaller, or just couldn't see it when they looked in the mirror. Now I'm experiencing it, too.
Karma has a great way of kicking you in the butt.

You may be experiencing a tiny bit of body dysmorphia. For many of us, we will always see ourselves as fat. If 2 different people both said they think their clothes are toot big for you, believe them. You probably just can't see the difference yet.

They think they're too BIG for me now, lol.

FINALLY a beautiful day in Michigan. I wore a new pair of shorts and didn't feel at all self conscience.

I finally ate yesterday. Some friends took me grocery shopping and took me to dinner. I could only eat a couple bites but that's progress! Thank you both for your kind words and prayers. It means so much, hugs.

Thank you, Dr-Patient.

I am very happy. And a little nervous. This is an awkward, unusual place for me to be -- at goal. Every other time in my life I've hit my weight goal (I'm a brilliant dieter ) I've sort of bounced on "bottom" and then floated upward pretty fast.
I don't really think I'm going to do that now. This is a real different feeling place -- no urges yet to eat "bad" things, etc. But it still really does feel ... awkward.
