I have a conference this morning out of town for work which means COMFY clothes. However I'm looking around my room appalled because I don't really have any that fit comfy :-(

Countdown to insurance approval. Prayers please..... Xxxx

I hope your approval will go quickly, so you will never have to face this awful dilemma again:) just keep positive and focus on the fact that soon you will begin to fit in everything and most of your current clothes will need to be replaced with stylin smaller clothes.

Yep, it especially sucks when that favorite piece is just too damn tight to wear again.

Soon it will be different, soon it will be "jeez - this used to fit, now it just hangs off me".

Thanks everyone- I felt so unprofessional today too- I love dressing up- its a perk of my job but I refuse to buy bigger clothes so lately I feel like crap. Blech. Thanks again :).

Justine, i am so with you. I have granny panties look like sails, mom jeans, oversized shirts. I wear maxi dresses and I look like I am wearing hawaiin mumus. I have 2 pair of 18 talbots kakis (talbots runs really big, BTW) and stretchy shirts I wear to work almost everyday, because nothing else fits right. I cant remember last time I dressed up.

Justine the 13th is almost here! Hang in there my friend. I can dress down at work and I look like a bum. When I was a 22W I gave all my dress clothes away when I got to down to a 16-18. Now I am like a 20-22W and have no dress clothes to wear. I told myself I am not redoing my whole wardrobe again with 22w...I have nice suits and dresses and I can't wait to get into them. In the mean time I am lucky that I can dress down or else I would be up sh*ts creek. Plus there is no where to shop in Colombia that sells plus size clothes except for "Gorditas con Estilo." My English to Spanish translation is "Fatty's with Style." I laugh everytime I walk past that store. Fat people don't have a chance in Latin America!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
