What Would You Wear If You Lose Weight?



Recommended Posts

Funky, fashionable stuff rather than boring, conservative fat girl clothes.

Plus a 1950s sleeveless frock with petticoat for dancing!

A tucked in shirt! Silly I know but I always wear a shirt with another shirt over it and open to hide my big butt! I'd like to tuck something in and have it look good without wearing another layer!!! I'm not an onion and even though "ogre's have layers" I don't want to!!! ( you can tell I have little ones who like the movie Shrek!)

I wear shorts but sleeveless even with the weight loss my arms are nasty they jiggle and wiggle and have cellulite. Been looking for a dress for the sons wedding...... note designers every cocktail dress does not have to be sleeveless or with sleeves to the wrist...... I have a long dress with a light jacket it's nice but I wanted a dress and haven't found one that is not sleeveless. :angry: .

I would wear a tan...because tan fat is better then white fat. Think about it pasty white or golden brown.....

On the Project Runway TV show they say size 14 is a Plus size well the day I got into a size 14 pants I did the Happy Dance it was so much nicer then a 22. :D . When you lose weight the easiest thing to wear is a big smile, Because baby you did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I love to make costumes for comic conventions so it will be nice to pull off a non-heavy character for a change.

So, whatcha thinking... next year Batman, Ironman, or He-man?! I say create your own "Brawny Band-man!" ;)

Also have to go with sleeveless dresses and tops. I CAN wear them now, but I still have some back fat. Since I have a 7" belly scar from an open chole in 1993, I don't think I'd ever be seen in public in a bikini (plus I just don't feel comfortable in them, whether I looked good or not). I have lots of tanks that I wear a short sleeve jacket or sweater over - but wouldn't wear them out in public alone. I have less than 10 lbs till goal, so not sure if I'll ever even get there. I guess they look ok, I just don't feel comfotable in them.

Good luck!

Oh, heaven yes!! I like black and brown just fine, but give me MORE COLOR and LESS UGLY PATTERNS to choose from. ;)

You know, its funny, I had a real thing for bright, jewel coloured bikinis, bought a red one and a green one and a gorgeous blue. They look AWFUL on me. My behind is where I got loose skin, I still have saddlebags and love handles, I'm small, but I just have flab there. And my ass looks HUGE in a plain bikini bottom. I've had to go back to the incredible disgusing power of pattern! It looks like I have an entirely different body in a good pattern.

I have a closet full of clothes i would buy and tell myself I'll lose weight..... I don't know why i would buy a size 18 if i was 22, i guess i was crazy, thinking some day it will fit. Well now Some are starting to fit. I have three leather jackets i got on sale last year I'm dying to wear, but my stupid arms are too big! The jackets does fit but arms are tight. :( I sure hope i get restriction when I get my next fill in 9/13. I even pray for it... I've read some people don't get restriction, so i worry. My husband wants to marry me again since we're only married in a court house, but want to lose weight to get into a wedding dress and rock it.... Love ya all band buddy's!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
