I always made sure I had two bras that fit. You look so much better in your clothes with a well fitting bra. I also made sure I had two pairs of pants that fit too.

Anyway, my new scale came!! It says I have 9.5% body fat. Hmm. Not sure I believe that. I'm going to ask for a Dexa scan at my 1 year PCP check up and see how it compares. But it says my left leg is more muscular than my right and I believe that.

I bought a body fat scanner thing for 9 bucks at CVS. You put in your height, weight, age, and hold it out in front of you. I took it with me to the doctor and it was accurate. Maybe a friend has one of those you could borrow.

Oh and safety pins don't work on thin undies. Just a little note in case you might need it in the future. Your undies just end up looking like you were attacked by a wolverine at the end of the day.

:001_wub: My wonderful hubby bought me new panties. He was careful to say he only bought 6 pairs because I looked silly walking around with my panties down. He looked at the too big ones and bought a size down. They fit perfect. He knew I would never do it myself.

How did I get so lucky?

Wow, I would be afraid to see what my hubby would come home with if he were to shop for panties for me.

when I was losing, I made sure I bought the

kind that had a little spandex in them. They

seemed to stay snugger longer even if they

were a little big, if that makes sense.

It does make sense. I have Spanx that are technical way too big that fit me fine. I only get rid of them when the legs go down my legs so far that you can see them peeping out when I wear shorts or skirts.

:lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0:Cajun, I wonder where you have heard of rotten gravy yogurt? I'm still laughing.:lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0:

No kidding, that is what it has always tasted like to me. I like gravy ok but yogurt taste like gravy made with sour milk. Maybe after I get my sleeve it will be oh, so delicious.:lol0:

I was responding to a post by someone who said they thought yogurt tasted like "rotten gravy"!!!

It's easy to see how someone who does not like it might think it tastes like sour milk...but gravy? I don't know. Anyway, I like it myself! glad you got a laugh out of my post!

      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!!
