I Would Like To Treat Myself



Recommended Posts

Clothes are a big reward for me. I shop at consignment stores, so the cost isn't high.

Other than the great benefits of better health, I've found joy again in playing "dress up" -- even when I dress to rake leaves or to shop for groceries. Redesigning my personal style at age 70 at 138 pounds after being overweight, obese and morbidly obese is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

All my too-large clothes are now gracing some larger ladies' bodies. I hope they're enjoying them as much as I did at those sizes.

I love getting massages and I never felt self-conscious even at 295lbs. I figure massage therapists are professionals and I'm sure they've seen it all! I am going to schedule a massage soon :)

For my ultimate treat at my goal weight I want to hire a professional stylist to help me with my wardrobe to tell me what looks good on me and what doesn't...because I really have no clue.

A personal stylist will be well deserved ???????? I know we all work too hard to not treat ourselves.

I got a pair of super cute black Coach boots when I hit Onederland!

I think I would do a mani, pedi, and highlights if I didnt want to buy clothes or shoes.

I love finding what I consider "great" finds though. Maidenform has some really great control/shaper leggings for $14, and Walmart has some surprisingly good jeggings (Faded Glory i think) for about $13. Both have been great wardrobe extenders with a pair of boots and a tunic top.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
