I’m scheduled for 1/19 so a month away! I’m excited and of course, nervous. I’m am most dreading the drains. Blech! I had a drain once from a surgery for a day or so and despised it.

I was going to do the lift but decided to wait because I wasn’t convinced I really needed it and that it wouldn’t change much.

However, the TT should make a big difference in my life!

I’m brand new here (first post) but you all look fantastic! Wow!

Yes, that is something I am working on. It has always been my first reaction... hard to push down the defensiveness sometimes when you are consistently having to prove that you are allowed to take up space... thank you!
Yes, thank you! This site is amazing - I guess curiosity wins out sometimes...I really just need to stop going to the sites where trolls and ignorance rule. Ha. I have been following your progress - you look amazing! Congrats!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I figured this may be the case. If someone is going to be hateful, they will try to do so at any opportunity they can. I am so sorry you experienced this! BUT, I am glad that you described it as pathetic. That is indeed what it is. Pathetic. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I really never thought of it this way! Thank you. You are right!!
So good to hear this! Thank you. You are all right, people will be hateful, mean and nasty especially when you are easy prey...which I am right now. I plan to use this advise and say EFF 'em!
Thank you all! This community really is amazing.

Everyone looks SO GOOD!!! Congratulations to all of you!!

You look amazing! Who is your doctor if you don’t mind sharing?

I work for a hospital system and I can tell you that the hospitals LOVE elective surgeries. Hospitals lost millions in the beginning of the pandemic if they weren’t doing elective surgeries.

Honestly, the same people who would criticize you for getting WLS would do so whether there was a pandemic or not.

And yes, these same people will also criticize you for being obese. I say EFF ‘em!

Nothing they can say will matter when you are a healthy weight and feeling great! 😊

Here are swimsuit pics. Still swollen but I’m happy w my results so far!!

Two days in a row! Someone told me my outfit was trendy so immediately I had to post it

(Vegan leather dress featuring my abnormally long hands - thanks body dysmorphia 😩)

I have zero reasons to wear anything notable these days. My coat is always on.
I am sorting through things to donate and came a dress I forgot I owned. I think I will keep it although I suspect it will be a long time before I can wear it.

Everyone looks SO GOOD!!! Congratulations to all of you!!

Girls weekend at luxurious mountain retreat. (Can’t go to Spain as planned so this was our alternative. Glorious though cold: anoraks, gloves & hats. But just had hot stone massage, followed by about an hour in the bubbling spa. Now time for a gin in front of the fire with some Frank crooning in the background. Not a clothing shot but you can see some of the white robe.
We did arrive in style. The only way.

lunch and afternoon drinks with the gals...such a beautiful day today (summer, don’t go!!)
Was looking through some older OOTD pics and it seems my go-to pose is to stand with my feet unnaturally spread apart. I wonder if I do this when I’m just standing around normally???

Went to a kids consignment sale to get a bunch of stuff for my kids. Well they had a huge juniors section and OMG the junior clothes fit me! I got a pair of jeans, pair of pants and 4 tops for 20 bucks! Woot woot!!

Heading out to an outdoor viewing party for tonight’s Raptors game. Hopefully the threat of rain stays away...but got my raincoat on just in case.
I think the jacket looks better closed, but it’s way more comfy open...

I think I found my winter uniform, this is sooo comfortable. I got it on Amazon, I’m going to check to see if they have other colors.

I left the house today! Went for blood tests and did some shopping and returns. Wore shorts I haven’t worn in nearly 20 years.

dinner out tonight with hubby. New linen shorts (size 4) and white sandals (size 7). This time last labor day holiday during loosing phase - size 12 shorts and size 8 flats. It feels wonderful this summer to be leaner and lighter at goal. Hoping everyone enjoyed a safe and happy holiday weekend!

Everyone is looking wonderful! Just look what I've missed... Amazing purse Arab, Incredible abs by Jake, Cool gym digs DT, sss patio dinner dress gorgeous, whose that amazing lady in red by the seaside, stunning sarong wraps on the Kitty, the always fashionable November and a few new comers... Fun! Back from cabin retreat. Wore my favorite cotton T-shirts and stretchies all vacation long. Comfy eyelet cotton dress for errands yesterday. Dinner out tonight with friends, but my toes are still back in that magical gurgling stream.

The Governor in my state finally allowed the gyms to open up this past Tuesday. I've been getting my pump on ever since. It's been mid March since I last worked out in a gym.
I accidentally posted this in food forum. I'm so crazy, lol! 🤪

Happy Friday Guys
I'm doing well … and on my way to ocean and Atlantic city next Friday … stay tuned.....

Went out for patio dinner and it started to downpour so we had to cut the night short 😢
(On the bright side, got home just in time to watch OG sink a buzzer beating 3 pointer to win the game!!! Go Raps Go!)
