Does anybody else out there have a certain something they want to fit in at some point? My parents bought me a Glee Dalton Academy Warbler uniform for Christmas, intentionally too small, and it's kinda my goal to be able to wear it this summer to a convention. Do you guys have something special that you want to fit in? <3

Cannot wait until I fit into my Warbler blazer!! A-Kon is gonna be so awesome this year!! <3

I'd love to be able to wear boots too! I've always had to wear men's shoes or wide shoes for women. I'd really like to be able to get some sparkly, glittery TOMS for girls at some point too. <3

63 Pounds Down Since July 2Nd! <3 Had My First Fill Today!
Allieg8tor posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just feeling pretty awesome right now because I faced my fear of getting a fill and, like everyone said, it was no big deal! I'm fifteen pounds down this month, but I've been exercising like crazy!! I've got a goal costume to fit into as soon as I can and I'm really aiming for it. I want to wear my Glee Cheerios uniform for the last episode of Glee next year. My mom and dad are getting me a Dalton Warblers costume for Christmas! Yay for goal weight Glee clothes!! I'm literally so happy I did this and I'm proud of myself for sticking to everything!! I feel great! I can't go swimming like usual this week though because the pool is closed for Thanksgiving holidays. I had to order a new swimsuit to continue swimming at the college and I'm kinda glad that I've already dropped so many sizes that I needed to do that! Getting the LAP-Band was the best choice I ever made! <3 I miss all the friends I've made here, I hope everyone's doing great! <3 Here's a picture of me recently!! I finally can wear my Rainbow Dash leg warmers, they were my first goal weight item!! I bought them in June. They go great with my Rainbow Dash hoodie, even though it's a bit too big now!! <3 -

My school semester is going crazy!! I don't know how my year is going because I've yet to really decide on next semester. I should really try to finish up my Bachelor's degree, but I have a 3.5 GPA and I'm scared it will drop down if I take on too heavy of a load. I also want to pursue an Associate's in Drama at the school that I work at, which I already have my Associate's in Art from. I still need 7 or so classes for my Bachelor's, and I've only been taking 2 classes a semester. With the way I've had to change everything around the LAP-Band, I honestly don't know how I've kept my grades up AND gotten a new job. I love my job though! Even though I'm a History major, English minor, and I have an associate's in art, I'm tutoring General Biology!! I work with wonderful people and the students who come to see me are so eager to learn! I really, really love it. I get home dead tired most days, but it's so worth it. I feel like I've been really blessed this year! This is also the first year I've met all of my New Year's resolutions, so that's cool! <3 How has your year been? <3 -

It's freezing here too, but the college that I'm a tutor at has an olympic-sized indoor pool that I use! Getting out is terrible though and I think I got a cold the other day from having wet hair. xP Sooooo worth it though! <3 -
had my first fill today! NBD!
Also, I'm 15 pounds down this month! That's 63 since July 2nd!! <3 -
What an amazing day! <3 American Girl was awesome!! Glad I spend this special day with friend.

Post-Surgery trip to American Girl is tomorrow! Sad one of my friends can't come, but I'm super excited to finally get to celebrate my life changes with one of my favorite stores and two of my best friends! <3

I've been kinda absent lately, but I've been through a lot of good stuff!
I'd love to catch up with friends! -

Making my own sugar free cocoa is my favorite thing!
Allieg8tor replied to Allieg8tor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's that and the Xylitol. Xylitol doesn't have a bitter after taste like most sugar free sweeteners. -

Allieg8tor posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, I'll admit, I've found the post-op diet still a bit difficult, but I've just spaced it out by taking my list of ten or so items and introducing a new one to mix it up a bit whenever I feel limited, well, yesterday I introduced sugar free cocoa! Ms. Betty, my dietician, said I could have sugar free cocoa if I used the 25 cal. Sugar free kind, but I decided to make my own 25 cal. Sugar free kind!' <3 I use Promised Land, organic, fat free milk (which tastes more like real milk than it does water! A really welcome surprise! It's also still creamy!) Hershey's cocoa, the baking kind. Unsweetened and all that good stuff. (1tbsp is 9 cal., but you don't need that much for one cup) 2-3 tsp of Xylitol (it's about 10 cal. A tsp, but it tastes like real sugar, doesn't have one of those bitter aftertastes of most alternatives, and is (mostly) not harmful, apart from causing a bit of bathroom trouble if you eat too much! It's my go-to artificial sweetener!) It legit tastes like actual, regular hot chocolate, you guys. It has become my favorite part of the full liquids diet. <3 You guys should try it! -
I'm kinda nervous, but I think I might get my first fill today.. I hate needles.. I keep trying to remind myself that it's not a big deal, but it feels like a big deal right now.. Nerves suck.. >.< I hope you guys are having a wonderful day!

He scheduled me for another appointment in 3 weeks. He kinda left it up to me and I asked if we could just wait until next time to see if I needed it. I'm fine on hunger most days, so it might not be necessary.

Well, Halloweek was pretty awesome! Since I got my new job as a biology tutor, I thought it'd be fun to dress up every day this week, and that's what I did! <3 Here are all my costumes: Monday, Pirate: ' Tuesday, One eyed, One Horn, Flying Purple People Eater: Wednesday, Sailor Girl: And Halloween!! Deadmau5 ("Dead Mouse") Happy Halloween!! <3
-
Thanks!! I love this holiday SO much! <3 It's definitely one of my favorites, I like to go all out for Halloween. My mau5head is actually made out of recycled materials and it took me forever, but I think next year I'm gonna make a new one out of old computer motherboards.
-
I'm celebrating Halloweek instead of Halloween. I'll post pictures of my costumes on Thursday!
<3 Happy Halloween!! <3 -
Spooky October-Challenge

Went down, then up, then down, a bit. I'm roughly stuck at around 285.. I hope I don't climb back up.. I don't really know why I'm like that, but I'm just trying to heal right now anyways. I haven't had my first fill yet, I don't think I'm gonna panic. xP -
Stuck at 285 right now, and my weight keeps fluctuating, usually a bit higher. I hope I'm not doing something wrong.

I hope everyone is doing great post/pre surgery!
