I'll be wearing my last-year's tankini. Black. I like the tankini for several reasons, not the least is that when the top slips up and shows off my oh-so-sexy tummy it freaks out my skinny girlfriends that I'm not freaked out.

I've been to Hippie Hollow!

Years ago.

When I was skinny.

And a hippy.

Instead of a hippo.

Hippie to Hippo?

OMG, Donna, you are hilarious!

Now self-deprecating humour is not just my specialty, I see you love it too.

Hey Hippie Hollow - isn't that near Austin? Some Past or Current Texans in the house?

Happy Band (And Life ) Journeys To All....

I bought a new one-piece swimsuit last summer that will do for this summer. It isn't all that glam, but NEXT summer, I 'm going for a tankini. They are soooo cute. By then I should be retired and I want to look a lot better than the old ladies I will probably be hanging out with. :heh: :heh:

I was quite surprised that I felt more anxiety over swimming in public this summer than I have ever felt before (at 330 lbs). Eric (DH) said it was because of the hanging flabby stuff ( this seems to be showing up the more I exercise and build up muscle).

He thinks PS will fix my head- but I doubt it- It will always be a one piece for us (me and my 8 " bat wings)

I can identify with that. I was trying on swimwear yesterday, its just hit the shops here (in the middle of winter). Oh. My. God. Sigh.

My head is still stuck in my 20's, my body is careering towards 40, lol.

Tankini and boarshorts for me, I have developed the most awful saddlebags somewhere in the last 10 years. But I will have to buy online, I need a swimsuit top that will handle a pair of DD's and has an underwire. No matter what I did I just couldnt stuff my bosoms into the tops I tired on.

Luckily I've found some really nice online stuff, not grandma bathers at all. I've changed my mind about cosmetic surgery. There is most definitely going to be some Lipo going on here. I'll have to wait till I'm working (3 years).

OK, after having a wardrobe malfunction a few week ago in the ocean, last year swimsuit went by by. so it is a pair of shorts and a sports bra for the rest of the summer. by the way the suit was a one piece, the girls came out of hiding.

No more one piece Tent Dress swimsuits for me! I first bought a two piece tankini with boy shorts. I now have two tankinis with teeny weenie bottoms. I love them! I don't even bother with the cover-up anymore!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
