These jeans are a pair I found yesterday. My favorite part is the buckle thing in the back.

I'm currently trying to resist buying additional Allbirds Breezers in fun colors like Poppy. I keep telling myself I don't have enough occasions to wear all the shoes I currently own, I don't need more!

I might already have 2 pair of AllBirds shoes. BUT - my feet shrank and they are now too big

Yep. Definitely time for new chinos.

P.S. Loving those black leather sneaks.

Thanks! I got them at Nordstrom Rack. Even on sale they were $100, so I felt some serious guilt about my cheap ass spending that on shoes. However, I've worn the hell out of them. They were well worth it.

Now I'm eyeing these: https://www.allbirds.com/products/womens-wool-runner-up-mizzles

I spent all my clothes budget already this month (woops! Everlane is a problem!). So it will have to wait until next month.

I found some deals yesterday and paired it with my thrifted vintage leather blazer.

I was pretty work casual today. I put on one pair of chinos, and they were too big, then this pair, which are also too big 😂 I did go jeans and pants shopping today. I’m in mostly 10s now?! Which is really messing with my head. This is probably my last time wearing these chinos.

Mr. scored us tickets to a show tonite, so I get to get dressed up again!

I'm wearing like 4-inch heeled booties to try to hide the fact that I didn't get this jumpsuit hemmed yet (even though I bought it months ago...) You can't tell so much that its a tad too long when I'm walking (or sitting with legs crossed), so I gotta make sure I'm only doing one of these things, lol.

This may be one of my faves on you!

Wearing real clothes today 😬

I would totally wear this. In a heartbeat. You may want to put a lock on your closet...

Rawr I see some sharp dressed men in suits. Looking very sharp Jake.

This thread was busy yesterday. Thank you for all the compliments yesterday. Today I have another new outfit. I’m not to sure about the top. The only drawback of only being able to buy clothes online. But I actually look like I have a butt today. Yay. And I actually wore a necklace today.

Have a wonderful day. This week has been crazy at work. I’m ready for Friday at 5.

I love the top!

Did you get your gallbladder removed before or after wls?

Before, but it was after I’d lost a lot of weight (I just unfortunately gained it back that time).

Still have gallbladder

Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine caused a similar series of attacks before we broke up for good. It may not be the cause of your issue, but I don’t trust gallbladders anymore after mine caused me such pain, heartache, and vomiting.

I’m sorry you are going through this pain and waiting game. I’ve been there, it sucks.

Hi Chayarg - I may have missed whether this was asked or not, but do you still have your gallbladder?

I don’t hide them, and won’t. Don’t worry about it, you may well find that they bother you less than you think.

SHARP! I love the black on black.

LOL, nothing exciting. Just a white button up and black slacks. It was a hippy wedding, in my MIL’s backyard in TN. So, not a formal affair. And we were all of 20 years old. Come to think of it, I bet my wedding dress is 4 sizes too big now!

ok so here is it in 32 inch pants for the first time since 5th or 6th grade ?

Those fit great!

I borrowed this dress from my cousin. We’ll see if she gets it back 😈

The jacket is from my MIL. I love the colors together, but I think the jacket is getting too big.

oooohhhhh...gotta love a guy in a suit. Maybe set a reminder on your phone to take that pic? LOL..we wanna see!

P.S. I swoon everytime Mr. puts one on, lol. He doesn't wear them often, but when he does....

Same! Mr Angie didn’t even wear one to our wedding. Though I got him in one a couple years ago for a friend’s posh wedding.

I need to shop for some nice jeans this week, too! All my slim bottoms are sportswear. What kind of Soup? I love soup! I'm coming over for dinner...

Broccoli cheddar! I’m adding in some veggie meat to mine to Protein it up. My kid made French bread, and I’m going to indulge in a bit of that as well.

Today was a work from home day and included a run, so I just wore my workout clothes all day. Now I’m going to shower and change into some even cozier loungewear before starting some Soup for dinner.

I need some new jeans, so Thursday will be a shopping day. Unlike before surgery, I’m looking forward to it! I’ve decided to go to the fancy lingerie shop and get a nice bra and some other new pretty things. I also need some new workout tops, mine are all annoyingly huge on me now, as seen below. The tank top underneath the long sleeve t-shirt is all loose and bunching up. It is NOT a good look. 😂

Like greentealael and ms.sss - I'm putting to the test new figure measurements and experimenting with how clothing is now fitting. Fell in love with this appliquéd cocktail evening dress yesterday for upcoming design award gala this May. It is a size 8 and fits appropriately except shoulders need raised and sleeves lengthened utilizing mesh that is also found on dress detailing. New shoes, too. A little ankle swelling due to previous knee injury. Will model again when all put together...hair included! Question: Soft black or nude hosiery?

That’s lovely! And nude.

Hahaha so its a mens Adidas 4xl track suit jacket that I converted into a dress

Ooooh, that’s a great idea! I’m going to put that on my list of things to keep an eye out for at thrift stores!

I forgot to add a pic of my weight this week!

I would love to add that it’s important to keep in mind that your stomach is healing right now. Even though you can’t see it, and on the surface you just have a few small cuts. But inside that major organ was sliced apart, the majority of it removed, and then stitched/stapled back together again. And now it’s expected to still function, when it’s tender and healing. But, like any wound, as it heals it will get less tender and it will be less of a battle to drink and eat.

Framing it this way in my mind really helped me early out when things were especially tough.

@angiebear yea I know it’s all in my head. It’s easier said than done and I’m trying my hardest. Tuesday will be 1 week post op. That’s exactly what it is. I keep thinking of the future and thinking I’m going to get sick because I’m not getting enough in. This feeling goes away right?

Absolutely it does. Right now it’s just so much harder to regulate your thoughts because you are exhausted, stressed, and struggling.

Just because “it’s all in your head” doesn’t make it less real. You are smack dab in one of the toughest parts right now. Your job is to get enough liquids in, and it can be pretty dang daunting and all emcompassing. It should get easier, though. I’ll be rooting for you. ❤️
