My wife is also not supportive at all, maybe not to the extent of yours... no threats of divorce.

She is slowly coming around since I have made it clear that I am doing it (surgery is March 16th). I even had to arrange a friend to care for me when I got out of the hospital when she said she wouldn't do it (I think because it is a requirement to have someone watch you for the first couple days, she thought it was a way to stop it from happening).

I am not sure what is behind it, she struggles with weight as well and maybe she thinks she will be left behind or something. We have young kids and I just want to be able to be more active with them. I can't do things like to to the fairs and go on rides with them because I don't fit, I can't go canoeing or things they are starting to want to do.

@Provost First of all congratulations on your decision to literally change your life and health status.. I'm very sorry to hear your wife is not as supportive as you would like her to be. However you must do this for YOU . More than likely as she sees your steadfastness without resentment or anger towards her she will come around. Just continue to be nice, smile and do what you have to do.. It may take some time but just hang in there and whatever you do, Do NOT host a pity party . just follow the surgeon and nutritionist instructions to the letter and you will have excellent results... Men lose so much faster and astonishing than women. Max out with the Protein requirements and Water intake . Worry about the other skin issues when and if the time comes.. Save some money in the next year or so just in case and if not then knock yourself out with a total new wardrobe /car . lol .Good luck and God speed to a quick recovery in your fast approaching surgery...… keep in touch here on the forum....

Everyone is looking great.

Angie definitely show what you got. I’m so jealous of your bum.

Jake I love a guy who looks good in a suit. You just keep rocking those duds.

November11 you sure know how to accessorize. I need you to come help me. I’m afraid I’ll look crazy if I start trying. And you are looking fabulous as always. Your boots today are so cute.

GreenTealeal I love the red socks with the red dress. I’m a huge fan of Adidas and you should be modeling for them.

Mom of chaos the whole outfit looks great. But can I steal those shoes?

Sophie I thought of you as I was getting dressed this morning. A new girly dress. The girls at the front desk in my office know I love to shop. They call me every time I get a new package delivered and call me and say “what new clothes did you order now?” In a joking way, and when I’m wearing one of my new deliveries I have to show them. Here is my new dress. It’s still to chilly for the knee length dresses. But soon.

That is so cute.. You so tiny!

Good Morning Guys LIVE WIRE here !!!

Jake I love the socks. Also looking great.

November11, ohlala. I love the color of the boots and the jacket. Looking fabulous on a chilly day. Isn’t it great losing shoe sizes as well?

So unrelated to me it’s decades day at my daughters school. She chose the 90’s. I told her what I used to wear, and this is what she came up with. Me I’m just in my normal. The 3rd cardigan I ordered from Amazon. I need more colors now. 😉 Oh darn I should order all the cardigans and dresses in my cart, since I’m almost out of my bariatric Multivitamins I “need” to order those. I’ll just tell my husband oops I didn’t realize all the clothes were in my cart to.

Ps do you see the photo bombs in both pictures.

Have a great day to all you awesome, amazing, supportive, inspiring BP friends.

your daughter is so adorable!!!! Is she excited about her new mom's energy ?

Here's the back detailing of the new blouse I spoke about earlier. Belt artisans from Etsy that I really liked were Dragos @ SoS Collections and Vladislava @ PLIKbrand. There is a wide variety to select from depending upon your tastes. OOTD is new black jeans and top for mother Smith's 85th birthday celebration today! She still enjoys wearing pretty lipstick and getting manicures. B-day posies to cheer up her apartment. She was a Naval nurse (24) stationed in San Diego when pregnant with her first son, my hubs. She hid it for as long as she could because back in those days (1959) when the head nurse learned one was with child... You were automatically discharged from duty as an officer! Incredulous! ;[ Really. I love all her fascinating stories including that one.

That was beautiful!!! May Mother Smith have many,many more...oh and I love that top ,both of them are my style...

LIVE WIRE checking in ....lol

and they not a size 11 ….anymore ,,,

My outfits from this weekend

You've seen this sweater before, one of my faves. Jeans are too loose, but not super obvious

And his one my bf convinced me to unbutton one button more than I would have been comfortable with 😂

And I can't tell you the last time I wore a belt with jeans! 😳

SMOKIN

These are from today and not edited. For some reason if you guys have to get a hoodie, consider the TeknoHoodie from The North Face. Best investment ever.

HEY Handsome

Oh my, I don't even want to tell you what the tab of final wardrobe updates after plastics. I tend to be a high-quality, low volume shopper seeking classics that last for decades. Only at this stage in life a few decades - I'll be 80! But, what the hell. I'll economize in other areas. Haha. Having a few fab custom thick leather belts (corset styled) made by Etsy gifted artisans from eastern Europe for a fraction of the cost. For the more trendy stuff - I adore our local consignment shops and estate sales or deeply discounted department store sales. Seriously though, I am looking forward to a dependable more stabilized closet. Here's one of the new blouses the new belts will go with. Of course, all the new jeans in several flavors are being hemmed for the shrimp. Oh, and my new warm hoodie - we finally got cooler temps this weekend!

you look so happy … Looking like life is good …..AWESOME!!!!!!

TGIF.....Good morning guys
