Yeah Jules I know about the hating to buy clothes thing....if I could just wear my Horny Toad and Title Nine stuff I'd be good...but my hubby says those are too butch...comfy and multifunctional is now butch...go figure...dammit...

TBS, I as a matter of fact, like the butch look on the girls I date. Personally, I find looking too sporty when not being sporty doesn't suit me. I'm a girlly lesbian.

Title Nine and Horny Toad are probably too casual for work any way.

I'm still plus size but I know I'll be challenged finding fiting, not sleezy clothing when I get smaller. As it is now, I tried on a sweater (2x) at Target and it was skin tight. Like what fat bitch needs to be showing her back fat rolls?! I guess it's cool for young chubby women who want to look stylish. Pushing 40 though, it's just not for me.

Really finding pants that fit my odd shaped body is a stuggle. With the belly that needs to be surgically removed but the rest of me getting smaller I'm finding that I'm getting more and more picky. Back at size 30 I was happy to find something that covered me. Now I actually want clothes that feel good too? WTF.

Thanks for all the props on the weight loss this week. I tell you the bodybugg has me recommitted to the process. I'm amazed. I'm going to work really hard to lose 3 pounds this week. Being that close to -100 is crazy. Especially to have done it (I'm counting my chickens before they are hatched but) in less than a year will be really cool!

I feel that if I keep my deficit at 1500 a day I should be able to do it!

Thanks again.

I used to be sporty lol...since Iraq and the three knee surgeries I've been less sporty...<grin> good thing my hubby doesn't mind the 'butch' look. Yeah, Horny Toad and Title Nine are a little too casual..although, those Horny Toad pants fit my square/no ass and hips pretty well....

I'm liking being able to fit into smaller clothes, but I am not liking that those smaller clothes are so slutty...I want to be covered and a LITTLE stylish, but I am so NOT girly...to put a skirt, hose and heels (such as I can wear, bad knee means not too high heels) really just piss me off and put me in a BAD mood.....lolol

Am spending this Veteran's Day crying and being a mess...go figure..my Dad's birthday was today; he was a vet; friends and soldiers I lost in Iraq...hubby being on active duty and not home...just a wonky weird day for me...hope you guys are all doing well....

Thanks to all for listening to me feeling sorry for myself! Hey, has anybody else encountered the "problem" of not wanting to eat because its such a pain in the ass?? (not literally lol) I find myself barely making 1000 today, and nothing I've tried to eat seemed to go down easy...an apex brownie, strawberry streusel bar, a couple tablespoons of peanutbutter....jeez....

TB,if only I could get that to stop me from eating. I feel like I have been around this weight most of my adult life..except the last 5 years and I find myself comfortable at it. I find myself not motivated to lose more because I am feeling good here and I do like to eat. I am not exercising like I was this last summer, which sucks ass because I was eating like a trucker and still losing fast. NOW, I am not losing at all. I go this afternoon to see how much I have lost since 10-08-07. I was 228.5 then. It is a month later and I don't think I have lost a pound. To put some perspective on this here is my offical weigh in's at doctors.

4-5-07 305.5 Pre surgery, had surgery 4-19-07

4-26-07 284.5

5-21-07 273.0

6-25-07 257.0

7-23-07 248.5

8-27-07 238

10-8-07 228.5

I have done good so far, but not good enough, I guess. We will see today.

Let me know if you want a kick in the ass. I'll post some of the stuff I put on the Marchies' board.

People asked for ass kickings so I gave it to 'um. It a rather odd thread to be part of, this is home for me, the bycyling thread, but they were my first group on LBT so my peeps as well.

It got to where people where crying so much about struggling that I was afraid to post my successes...I know other monthly groups have some good gelling, if it weren't for you all here I'd be jealous of them! Ha.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
