Okay here's the thing. I'm a Jersey Girl : ) and I work for the State... I plan on having my surgery the end of January and it's COLD!!! So I'm wondering what will I wear back to work this winter. I'm eating better now and losing a little here and there and I have the 2 week prep diet then the surgery and post diet. So when I return to work I can't go in looking like a Rag Doll.... :blush: and it 's to cold to wear a dress, now that I think about it I hardly wear dresses I think I have 2 work appropriate ones :unsure: Gosh I need help! I'm starting to worry about every little thing... Blahhh

I am not post-op, so I'm no expert. But based on what I've seen and heard, my best guess would be that you're gonna be smaller, but your clothes now should still look okay. Might be looser, but shouldn't be too bad.

I will be two months out in two days, and I am down 44 lbs from my weight on B-Day. I thought I had enough in the way of old clothes to get me through the winter, but I have gone down four sizes around my waist since I started in June. I don't look so good in a dress either. But if you are talking two months, you'll be into March, right? It should be a little warmer in Joisey by then.

Lmbo @@LittleBill it will still be cold in here we don't warm up until May. Maybe I can get sweater dresses and tights. And if by any chance you decide to put on a little Black dress please tag me in the pic I can always use a good laugh. ????☺

I've been shopping in my own closet so far. Lol I'm about to the end of that though. My daughters closet is next. ..if she won't be scared for life that is. I really don't want to spend a lot on clothing I'm only going to wear for a month or two. I've been meaning to go to some resale shops, just haven't had time yet.

I need to go find an old picture. And as you might suspect, it has a story. It ain't a little black dress, but it will be along the same lines.

@@Raymia Oh yeah, I'm in eastern PA, so I know how March can be.

@@Raymia Many years ago, I got into an online argument with a very good friend of mine in real life about art. It was on a woodworking forum where we were both professionals. He was emphatic about all art needing to be appreciated, while I countered that just because it was art didn't make it good art. I wrote, "If I put on a pink tutu and danced across the stage, it would be art, but it would NOT be good art!"

Well, a whole bunch of mutual friends and acquaintances started egging me on. They wanted to see me in the tutu. So one night, when I had too much to drink and not enough to do, I went looking for a tutu picture. I corralled Mrs. LittleBill into helping me (against her will) and we photoshopped my head onto the body of some poor little girl in an online catalog for ballet supplies. It created quite a stir on our forum, and earned me a reputation for doing outrageous things. This picture is close to 15 years old.

      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!!
