TGIF.....Good morning guys

Wearing real clothes today 😬

I also love a man in a suit..... This was 4 weeks PO for me... i was only down 20lbs. The waist was not as fitted as i wanted, but i was losing by the day...
Yes, i had to add fabric to the top because the "girls" were tooooo out and proud. His family was there...hehe

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.

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

Meeting day

I was 56 when I had my surgery. I'm 2 years out. From my highest (which was not officially recorded) I was probably over 300 pounds in August 2015. I flop between 152-160 right now and am working on getting my body fat down under 28 percent. I've gone from barely fitting into 24s to buying a pair of size 6 Levis this past weekend. I'm a nationally ranked fencer in my age group now and just this weekend won Bronze (all women over 50) and Silver (women 50-59) medals in fencing at the NJ Senior Olympics this weekend. I can dead lift 200 pounds and squat 215.
The only regret I have is not having done this 20 years ago.

Imitation crab meat warmed in a pan with butter, garlic salt, and basil with a slice of garlic toast.

Put me on the refried Beans with cheese list! Yummy, quick and easy--just open a can. Fiber and Protein, and no animals were harmed in the making of this meal!☺️

[emoji1][emoji1] Same here I wake up so happy in the mornings now. I'm just so ready to go!

Thanks for the advice!

Mine is march 9th 😬😬

I watch Dr. Voung on utube also. I love them and get some great information from them. My surgery is March 30.

Getting excited! March 3 bypass date

March 24th! 31 days to go. I’m so excited you’d think I was going on vacation instead of having surgery!!!

Mello1 and ALL MARCH pre-ops!. RIGHT there with you that it’s getting REAL😅!!!! My liquids begin in 4 days😳. Stocked up. Each meal I eat right now seems surreal, bittersweet, somewhat melancholy. I remind myself that it’s not the end- it’s the beginning of what will be Wonderful. Out with the old, in with the NEW appreciation of everything. So very grateful for our community here❤️, what would we do without it??? So many generous, knowledgeable, loving WLS veterans who have nurtured us along like ‘little chicks’☺️. We cannot Thank each of You enough!!💝
This morning I Amazon ordered a fairly cute black zip up lounging type dress to wear walking the halls and also easy enough to wear home from hospital. Two front pockets for phone, etc. so I’m not schlepping stuff I want near. Going to order a front closure sports bra. The less I need to bend, twist, raise arms, etc. the happier and more comfy I will be. Eager to hear more pre-op prep tips anyone can share! Thanks and let’s replace any negative fear thoughts with positively thrilling exhilaration that our long awaited time is near!😃

Some folk continue to post in the pre-op thread and I've seen a few post-op threads started, but not anything current other than the January folks. I think where ever you feel comfortable.

Clothes shopping gets harder LOL.. I find myself still going to the plus size sections. I recommend not buying a lot as you get to smaller sizes as the clothes only last a month or so. Last year i donated over 500 items. Now.. i buy maybe 3 or 4 outfits only and wait till the last possible moment to buy the next size down. My BMI was a lot higher, and no co morbidities, but nevertheless... i waited way to long but there is a reason for everything! I am glad i am on this journey.. Now i am trying to figure out how to stop the weight loss as i dont want to be too small LOL

I am having revision from lapband ( that slipped after 11 years and will be having gastric bypass paid by Medicare on March 26. Looking forward to starting my weight loss journey!

Me too. My surgery date is March 30. Seems like forever away. Good luck to all of us March babies! And everyone else. Don’t want to be selfish. Lol

March 10th revision from vbg to rny for me.
Best of luck to all!

I can't wait to enjoy clothes shopping again! And hiking with my boys. I truly want my life back. In college i was very physically active. After children, marriage (then divorce) that part of me got buried.Now my boys are older and I dont plan on having anymore babies, it's time to love me again.
