helpful tip: keep a box in your closet, and when something is too big.... throw in the box

My SX office has a support group and fb page. I normally post there and someone always takes them

What is a capsule wardrobe?

You look so beautiful.......... and i'm in LOVE with this

wow.... congrats..... she is a lucky girl.

Yesssssssssssss. look into Trulance. This has been a game changer for me

I take trulance..... works like a charm......

so if you were a 40 bmi would they cover?

I would so wear both those. I told hubby last night, they are shoes that i will Never get rid of and so if they get scuffed, so be it. I'm going to wear the with sasssss and pride...... and hope i don't fall.... hehehe There are NO stores that sells them in MS. and all the stores we have gone too didn't sell them..... but when we went to Hawaii two weeks ago...... there they were size 36..... Needless to say i carried them on the plane.

If you can not tell anyone....... GO THAT ROUTE!!!! I had the lapband in 2009 and everyone knew... of course, everyone also had an opinion on what they thought I SHOULD DO. I got the "lap band is the easy way out".... or "someone they knew, knew someone who died"... "it won't work".... blah blah blah. It did work and I lost 89lbs. So when it had to be removed....... again, I told everyone it was gone. Here's where it changed..... from 2017-2019 I put back 30lbs of what i lost. I had divorced (26 years of marriage), moved states, changed jobs, got into a new relationship (married 2019). No one here knows I at one time had WLS..... So when I told them I was going on a diet for my upcoming wedding and I was working out.... No one gave it a second thought. So about 3 months before Sleeve I told everyone I developed a "hernia" and needed SX to fix it. Day of SX comes (Wednesday, back to work on Monday), and Dr goes in, does the sleeve and fixed an actual HH that I didn't know I had........ Slam dunk. So the first year of weight loss was explained this way. After losing weight for the wedding I just decided to keep going. No one ever asks further questions after............. I had HH SX. I'm now 50lbs lighter and so happy. So tell no one and I guarantee you will be happier for it. But, remember if you tell even one person outside your home (even family)........ everyone will know. People love to gossip and when you start to lose, there will be that one jealous person that will say something.

Sizes are crazy in the US. I can be anywhere from a 0-4..... Which i think in Aus sizes is 6-10 i think. Best thing to do...... cut the dang tag off and just enjoy the fit

I know everyone thinks they have the best husband..... but I truly do. Valentines Day and I get these.... These have been my dream shoes forever. They have already started to "earn" their cost..... hehehehe Headed to dinner tonight with a new pair of shoes.... now to figure out how to not scuff up those red bottoms to bad.

Finally.... a real vacation. Hitting the beaches of Ko Olina, HA........... I'm as white as rice, but I don't care. I'm going to enjoy my time away with my husband and my two grandkids. More post (pictures) coming soon.

I feel the same way.... I hold up pants and think.... How in the hell does this fit. There is no way i'm that small. It's body dysmorphia....

You definitely need to get with your NUT and SX. This is something they can help you gain control of. My first step would be to purge your home/car/office of ALL unhealthy food. Throw them out. You can't eat what you don't have/buy....

100% agree.

what is your process? If you had to write a step for step, what would it look like? Exp: 1. remove one egg from fridge. 2. put one tsp of oil/butter in pan. 3. scramble egg with pepper. 4 pour egg into pan...... you get the point. There has to be some disconnect going on. I know mine was not portioning/weighing my food... I was "eye-balling" it. Well, my visual is not accurate at all. What looks "normal" to me is not, its much more. When I took the time to really weigh what I was eating I was so shocked. Also, I have to wait 30 min after my last bite. As soon as i drink..... I'm hungry again. I have a set plan for the day and even if i am hungry, i stick to it..... Breakfast at 830-9 snack at 1030-11 lunch 12-1 snack at 3-330 dinner 6-630............that's it end of the day and no more food, no matter what. I have purged my home/car/office of all items that are "junk". I'm a person that if i know it's there, I NEED IT!!! So, if it's not there i can't. Can't eat what you don't buy.

how cute are those.... such talent. No, not a red head.... I think it was just the light in the office. My mom would kill me (even at 53) she is not a "red hair" fan. I love red hear. The concert was amazing. I finally got my first vax....

I'm pretty sure this person just came here to stir the pot. But if he/she didn't......... shame on them. I feel no pity for them.... the very first post was how he/she was not following the plan... and "guessed" that he/she was eating 800. If you are "guessing" 800 you can bet it's more like 1600.......but he/she won't log food to see what he/she is actually eating....

I agree. When i lost my band and went 2.5 years without wls I thought I could just do it without help. I was wrong. I started gaining and before i knew it I had put back 30lbs. In my mind (overweight brain) I wasn't "eating that bad" but when I started going back to logging my food, I was clearly eating badly. I was at 1000 cal before lunch. This is why logging is so important. I know I didn't realize how much I was actually eating. If the OP would just try logging everything and being honest 100% for one week he/she would see. But honestly he/she seem like they don't want to put in any work to make the SX successful.

Man you go away for a bit and everyone gets sexier and sexier..... We ventured out to Atl Nov. 11th to see The Rolling Stones.... OMG it was amazing. We were scheduled to go a couple of years ago, but it was postponed due to a Hurricane.... Then Covid, so we didn't get to go. This time the Mr. made it happen. We flew to ATL for the night and flew back the next day. He has been online shopping and I told him he needs to stop.... (but not really). He bought this little "ribbed" number and i saw that you all posted your ribbed dresses..... so here's mine. I couldn't get a good shot of dress and boots so they are separate. The boots were bought a few years ago when we first started dating and they fit so much nicer now. The boots are black, don't know why they look gray.

Lots of people get them as a trigger sign that they overate......... Are you overeating? Some people get a runny nose, hiccups, belches.

Love Wow Sophie you look great

So my husband and I are headed to Chicago for Labor Day weekend. I'll be getting there late Friday. He will already be there for work. I have never been to Chicago and need tips on where to eat and what to see. We will be staying at the Drake. I'm pretty sure Saturday we are going to a ball game. Need an upscale place to have a good romantic dinner. Sunday I think we are doing the Fields Mus.... We need something to possibly do after we also need a place to eat that night. I'm headed home on Monday morning.

yes she was........ but..... Addiction transfer, or cross addiction, after bariatric surgery occurs when individuals trade compulsive eating for other compulsive behaviors. There is also strong evidence of a biological reason for cross addiction. Studies show various forms of transfer addiction in up to 30 percent of patients who have had bariatric surgery. For these patients, food is no longer being a source of comfort, distraction, reward or escape. Other behaviors or substances now substitute for eating, and can become problematic. “Process addictions,” such as gambling, shopping and sex addiction can occur, as well as addictions to alcohol and other drug abuse. In some cases, after a period of initial remission, food addiction can reoccur. I drink, but it's never to an excess and i rarely ever have anything with bubbles in it.
