It's been about two and a half months since I started this journey including pre and post op. So far everything has been going swimmingly.

I don't want to shop for any clothes, shoes or purses. Haven't lost enough lbs to buy a piece of jewelry. So I have decided on a massage. How soon after my surgery can I get one? I was going wait till the last incision healed.

How are you guys treating yourselves after hitting some milestones?

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.

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.

We are never too old!!! I'm glad you are enjoying been a fashionista ????

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.
