In fact, it did. I never used to tuck my shirt in, now I do. I wear boots now too! Luv em in the winter. one thing I noticed is that I look like I'm trying to be 16 again (I'm almost 46). Last week, I bought a pair of skinny jeans that are neon pink/yellow mix. I put them on for the first time today and I look ridiculous! That was a waste of $25! They are coming off as soon as I get offline!

Have fun shopping!

I was just sleeved on May 20th, but I am sure that my style in clothes will change. The way i picked clothes in the past was by looking for anything in my size, see if it fits and if it does, buy one in every color. Boring and frustrating. I'm looking forward to shopping for clothes that I like...not just clothes that fit.

I can't wait to wear little cotton dresses or skirts. I haven't worn either in so many years! Also I love the look of short dresses with leggings beneath, but mine is not a leggings body right now. Can't wait to buy what I love, not just whatever will fit.

I am 18 months out and still struggle with this! I have no style and struggle to find something I like. I don't like very many of the clothes styles right now.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
