    9 months post op and thanks to a birthday in July and using a bad scale at a doctors office I thought I lost and gained but there was literally no change , for a month. Lol. Welcome to the slow down. Now im Focusing on self image, because I'm still dealing with body dysmorphia. Just yesterday I bought a gorgeous bra set , non returnable, and it was too big. But I think I kinda knew it was too big , I just can't stop shopping for the old me. Anyone else do dumb sh#+ like this? Lol

      Oh, I decided against the rental sites. They're expensive for what you get IMO. Can't rent pants because they have to be tailored. And for dresses, I bought some in the $30-$50 range. So even that is more affordable than renting.

    3. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

      Good to know those rental sites aren't worth it! I'm a minimalist so I only buy things I need ,love and goes with everything I already have so I don't buy much, and when I do get something it has to work for a while...

    4. sillykitty

      I'm also justifying buying more clothes than I absolutely need to at this point, because it makes me feel better about myself. Wearing fitted clothes and feeling attractive in them makes me legit happier.

      Ran across this on Instagram. It's a WLS surgery related meetup. Website on the photo/flyer. Apparently it's pretty big, they just did one in Orlando. Not sure if you knew about it.

      Thanks! I didn't know about that, likely because I'm not a WLS page in the gram. I used to follow for a while but i got bored by it 😂

      But .. I’m not eating fats which the Keto diet wants you to do.

    3. GreenTealael

      I'm definitely cooking with olive oil, eating peanut butter (although very sparingly ) because I can give up carbs but I NEED those healthy fats

    4. ShelbyMoore

      Yes, agree. I’m eating healthy fats. So we are unofficially on a Keto diet. :)

    Took the plunge. Gifted my self a scale for the maintenance phase of my journey. I'm no longer actively losing, so it's time for accountability.

    I feel pretty confident these days that the retrograde motion of Mars, global warming trends and US politics will not directly effect my weight 😂😂😂

      This cracked me up. US politics might make me lose weight if anything since it has the ability to make me a bit queasy...
