Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Fiddleman went clothes shopping?!?



Recommended Posts

My hubby just impressed the heck out of me! He came back from an outing and announced he had been clothes shopping at Old Navy for himself- alone! I usually have to drag him kicking and screaming into clothing stores and he goes by himself? And on top if that he actually picked out some pretty stylish threads- AND they were on the clearance rack! I can't wait for more of this clothes shopping stuff- and can't wait to see him in a well fitted suit! Hubba Hubba!

Thanks proudgranny! Yep, somebody had to marry this guy to make sure he's taken care of and doesn't do anything loco. :) We're going on 13 years of marriage and it's only getting better every year! Five days post op and I feel great! I'm able to get in 80-90 oz of fluids on top of 3-4 shakes per day plus all my Vitamins. I walk 2-3 times a day and was off pain pills from my third day back- I'm not even needing Tylenol! Fiddleman asked me after a walk a few days ago, " are you sure you're not just acting super tough or anything?" LOL. I just told him "nope- just doing what I feel I can do!". Maybe years of dealing with arthritis pain (since age 17) has helped toughen me up...not sure. But I'm feeling dandy and was outside yesterday watering my garden and pruning my clematis vines. I am so looking forward to swimming, Zumba, ballroom dancing (fiddleman is joining me!) and rowing crew this summer and fall! Walking is so flipping boring! Oh well- I'll find something to make it entertaining until I'm cleared to do other stuff. Had my first dream about food last night- eating a Tomato salad until I remembered I was on liquids only and I had to spit it out! My dreams are all about veggies and fruit! I'm tolerating shakes just fine once I switched to soy- figured that might happen since I was lactose intolerant as a baby. I can't wait to get to purée though- 7lbs down from dos already! Hooray! Clothes are already fitting so much better and even getting too big. I can't wait for my shopping spree! :)

He needs to post fashion show pics.

Agreed! Maybe I can get him to try on a suit soon too. I'm going to enter him into Redbook's sexy husband contest. :)

      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!!
