One-derland! Need new shorts!



Recommended Posts

For 3 days in a row, morning weight has been in One-derland! That sure seemed a long ways away before banding.

It's hot today and will be all weekend. None of my shorts fit anymore. Ugh! DH took a picture of me last week and my shorts look like a short floppy skirt. I was determined not to buy any new clothes this summer but I may have to break down. Too, bad :heh: :heh: :heh: :heh:

Good job!!

I did most of my "losing weight sizes" off of ebay. Cheaper and you can resell them. Although I had kept most of my "growing" sizes so I was able to just shrink the closet as needed.

I found (in my closet) a pair of khaki shorts that I wore last summer. They were a little baggie - well, a lot baggie - but with a top looked semi OK. Went to a festival this weekend. DH and I walked around the campground in the dark, sipping some wine, listening to jam sessions. I had the flashlight and I guess he didn't like the way I was shining it. He grabbed for the light and knocked the wine out of my hand, all over the shorts. Hmmm. His impatience is gonna' cost him:heh: :heh:

Congrats,

I can't think of a better reason in this world to go shopping than getting into the 100's. I would spoil myself rotten. You've done great, pat yourself on the back, you deserve it.

Hey Stitchy - Congratulations on onderland! I was in the same boat as you. None of my clothes fit very well and i didn't want to buy new ones this summer.

I finally had to buy some clothes this weekend. I was in definate need of a bra. The "girls" were permanently visiting my bellybutton. I was amazed at the difference just a well fitting bra made. When I got a couple of pairs of pants and shirts, my husband and a few friends who saw me said the more fitted clothes make a huge difference and they could really tell how much weight I have lost. Actually, for the first time since my surgery, I could tell my body is smaller as well.

Stitchy, *P L E A S E* go buy some clothes that fit.

Need a clothes donation??

Im sure there are MANY members here that have lost enough weight and have tons of clothes stored in their closet!

Most likely SHORTS in YOUR size!

What size are you wearing now?

As soon as you wear fitted clothes, you (and everyone else) will start feeling and noticing that there's 50 pound less of you. :biggrin1:

Thanks so much for everyone's kind words. I wish I knew what size I am now. Maybe an 18??? I really just know what size I'm NOT! ;) I think maybe I'll at least go try on some clothes this Wednesday. Since we are in the middle of summer, maybe there will be things on sale. I wonder if there is any chance I will be able to shop in the *normal* section? That would be way cool.

      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!!
