Now my,public I do have a thought. I want polka dots, don't know if that sounds like something Obese Olive and her cohots would come up with. Even if that harkens to profiing, so be it. Maybe a pastel shade and knee,length or just above. I am tired of yanking my hem down through life. Maybe a 16 or 18? No dang it, it is going to be a 15 Junior, that's what size I want to be. And when,it happens, even if it isn't,until 2019 I SHALL POST IT ON BARIATRIC PAL-You people gave me the bravery to attack this problem!!!😝✊

Ha! I bought myself a juniors size large blouse about 3 months post op. Having started at a Tight 20 I figured there’s no way I would ever shrink too small to wear it.

I now wear a 4. Gave that shirt away long ago!

Go for it, but don’t invest too much!

Here’s my suit. It’s a two piece so I decided to by the top now but wait until next summer to buy a matching bottom. Because who knows what my lower tummy and butt will be like! Lol

I only bought one new dress in a medium- besides that I have a 1/2 closet full of size Large clothes I can’t wait to fit back into. I thought that shopping afterwards (when I’ve lost the weight) might be a “pick me up” I can use to reward myself anyway :)

My husband convinced me to get a few things in one or two sizes smaller than what I was wearing; I started with underwear because no one wants those to be baggy for long! I also got a few shirts. I'm in the large/14 now and will definitely get into the mediums later. I also was cleaning out closets and found a few items I kept from high school that I can now wear. It's surreal that I'm where I was over 25 years ago.

I did on Saturday! There were a couple of very pretty Modcloth dresses that I came across. They're only a size or two smaller than I am now, so I'm being conservative. :D

I bought smaller sized clothing for the summer, size 14. But they fit me now surprisingly. Not because I think have shrunk that much, just because clothing sizes are much different than 10 years ago. Vanity sizing has got me all confused! :angry:

Not like goal clothing, but I'm thinking about hitting up some yard sales before summer ends to grab a few things to get me through fall and winter. Cuz nobody would be happy if i wake up one day and find myself with nothing that fits...lol

I ran across some super cute swimsuits yesterday. They didn’t have any in my current size but since they are on sale I’m considering buying one in a size I think might fit me next summer.



Anyone else bought clothing that you’re hoping will fit as you work towards your goal?
I bought a size 10 lingerie set before I was even finished with my pre-op requirements, lol. It’s the only purchase I’ve made though. I hope to fit it eventually, even if my body tricks me and decides to go smaller than a 10, at least I’ll get to wear it for a few weeks 😂😂

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
