We're having tax free in NC as well. As a teacher' date=' I take advantage to get some supplies for my classroom. I also try to get my parents to buy things for the classroom as well. This will be the first time I actually buy some clothes for me! I can't wear anything that I've worn the past 10+ years. Yayyyyyy![/quote']

Yay!! It will be awesome to be able to start a fresh new school year with the new u and looking fab!!!

Didnt know they did that! This is the first year in forever that I dont have to buy school supplies! Seems unreal. We were at Walmart today and my 18 yr old says' date=' " better get supplies soon. Oh wait..." was too funny. Guess she forgot she graduated![/quote']

It's kinda a weird sensation..I hate doing it but is kinda a excitement too!

Weighed in at 253.2 today! That is 50lbs down from 4-22 surgery and 87 total! Even though I thought id be further in my weightloss' date=' 50 lbs in 3 months is ok. My original goal for myself was 80 in 6 months which I can hit, and beat! Happy today! Now off shopping for supplies for grad party♥[/quote']

Yay ! Congratulations :)

Missed all of y'all today..I'm such a junkie here <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> I've had a rather busy day and 2 more just like it left to go. I missed checking in on everyone.

In FL we have "tax free weekend" where it's basically a savings for back to school buying. Thought I'd be in the clear waiting to go after work tonight as Fri was nearly over and the weekend is usually the worst..oh no..craziness! Thank God I just have one kiddo and my step kids do theirs with their mom. If anyone ever watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and remember her ramming the car yelling Tawanda..that's about what I felt like doing with my buggy <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

hoping since clothes are included as a savings I might can pick up a few things for me to wear this weekend.

Very brave of you. I'm afraid of tax free weekend lol

My boobs are like a size smaller now. I have like 50 vs bras that are too big :( I had to resort to wearing the fake gel padding thingies. When I use to be skinny and had no boobs I hated it when I nursed and they got big but now that I've had them I know what a good thing I'm missing lol it's like saying goodbye to an old friend... Thanks for letting me complain for a moment !

Btw I love my surgery and wouldn't change a thing:) just didn't anticipate missing them so much!

I can relate. I think I may be a 42B from a very full 42C.

I could care less if I got rid of this saggy belly skin. But I'm mourning the loss of my bodacious Ta Tas!!

You guys made me laugh a little. I've been wanting to post the same complaint for a while. Even though I was big all over they kept me proportioned. Now they've shrunk but the gut belly is still there. Sux!!

Lol yes I had d and now I think I'm barely hanging on to a c right now. They were like a secret weapon lol but really they have become an important part of my womanhood and after nursing three boys they are not only shrinking but Droopy too:(

Well here's another one good for a laugh. I was pretty fit during my school years and I danced and I was thin and my chest was soo small. So one day I wanted to impress a boy and wore a Water bra to make them look a bit bigger. Well it actually started to leak during our conversation!! So embarrassing lol. Well last night I went out country dancing and of course my bra didn't fit and I used the little padding thing with the liquid in it that I've had since my wedding ( they just don't make wedding dresses for girls w small boobies :) ) anyhow the whole night I was so worried that I would leak or one would fall out lol I was totally traumatized from my high school experience:)

Oh and I have the belly issue. That is where I gained most of my weight. It's mush:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
