I'm like Lynne -- I'm good down to size 12. After that, it's gonna get expensive!

I know how you feel about the clothes. Over the years because I've been a yo-yo dieter, I literally have a bunch of clothes for every size from a size 6 to size 16. I'll be alright for a little while. From year to year, I never knew what size I'd be so I just kept all my clothes.

You all have so much fun in store. Shopping for clothes is like being a kid in a candy store! When I walk into a "normal" store I still think someone will tell me I am in the wrong place. It's like walking into the wrong rest room!

It'll all come to you folks and then some. I love basking in the newbie excitement. That was me a year ago.

Haha Stevie.. The damn BRA! Same here.. I'm 10 weeks out and down almost 50lbs. One thing that frustrates me at the moment is clothes ! It's a good thing I know. I've already got rid of all my 26 tops and 24 bottoms. All my summer stuff in storage doesn't fit. I feel like I'm changing sizes every 2 weeks.. Seems I'm losing inches more than lbs. I'm in a 16 now and that's 10 weeks ! Holy crap. I can't wait until I hit goal and fill my closets with nice new SMALL clothing !!

Well, I am looking forward to all of those things as posted above, but right now, being the summer temps here are always 90 and higher, I am REALLY looking forward to getting rid of this enormous, hot, miserable, twisted, tight, size 46DDD BRA!!!!

I cant wait for my pain to go away. I am very very impatient to have sex with my hubby as a normal size person. im still waiting on my surgery date.

Can't wait to get in to a suit . Go on a ride at a amusement park , buy cloths at a normal store learn to scuba dive

Oh my goodness! YES! Toast rocks! I've been craving Toast for months.

I'm still waiting for that, 3 months post op and 1/4 of the energy I had pre op :-/

Hmmm....I look forward to many things. But #1 - I look forward to having more energy!

I can't wait until I feel like I have enough room to not need a seat belt extender in my new car. It fits but any sudden movement locks it ... I want room to spare!!!

Hmmm to be honest, if someone is eating a lot at the salad bar, I could that good. Now, I take a lot of fresh veggies and fruit, not 1 cup of cheese, bacon, etc. So I have to qualify that but if someone is taking a huge salad out with spinach, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. I would say go for it!!

Maybe they had WLS!

I want Toast! Lol

I can't wait for that also. Congratulations on your 35 lbs weight loss. Keep up the good work.

I was constantly on a diet so often times I call myself going to salad bars where you pay per pound. I like all the different selections so I always wanted a little of this and that and well, my eyes are bigger than my stomach so I always overdid it and end up paying over $10.00 for lunch. Well when I am on solid foods after surgery, I can't wait to be able to go to a salad bar and get very little and be satisfied. I always admired the people who get the small containers and have very little in them. I can't wait for that to be me. lol

I can't wait to go shopping in a regular size clothing store and know that anything I see and like, I can try on. I don't have to go searching for the largest size on the rack, and hoping they have it.

That is perfectly normal. After any insult to the body, including surgery, you're going to feel the worst at 24-48 hours after. It gets better - very gradually - after the 48 hour mark.
At this stage all you can do is sip, sip, sip, take pain meds as ordered, and walk, walk, walk. Rinse and repeat.

We all fight the battle and we have for years. You are not alone! Perhaps this will be your time. Determination is the key! You seem to have that so go you!

I thought I wasn't old enough to wrinkle, haha turns out I was just fat!

Hey wannabe healthy !
I like your name, it says it all. Loosing 50 pounds has put you in a healthier place, try not kicking yourself for wooda, shoulda , coulda, days gone by.
Today. This is where you are, in the moment, and recognizing this is your reality. They say the definition of crazy is doing the same thing, the same way, and expecting different results.
Choose your reality and work towards your goal in a different way. You are a smart, bright young woman and I believe you have it in you to do this. No one except you can make the change. All we can do, is cheer you on your way to success. Look in the mirror and tell that beautiful woman looking in your eyes, that you believe in her.
Hugs!

Aww Jill, it's all going to be ok. We are right here with you and supporting you in whatever you decide. You are not alone.

Jill that sounds so so frustrating. I am so sorry you've gone through all that and not gotten the results. Can the doctor explain to you why? Seems like a new surgeon and a new surgery will make 3 times a charm come true for you! Wishing you all the best!
