Let's share all our sophomore experiences, our angst, our struggles, our suggestions--let's talk about life! Let's become friends! You can be on any kind of food plan, do any kind of exercise or not, be gay or straight, engage in cardio or not--you just have to be in the "tweener" stage post WLS.

Not a Newbie but not yet a Vet - Sophomores have different challenges and are coping with an awkward middle stage, so please only post if you've passed the six month post-surgery mark!

Funny you should ask. I'm wearing a five-year-old pair of army green colored pants that seemed to fit this morning but are still too tight — looking forward to going home and removing them. New shirt from Lucky Brand and sweater from Nic + Zoe.

What's everyone wearing these days???

It was brought to my attention that I don't even wear half of the nonsense I own let alone promised myself I would wear once I was this size... mostly workout gear and I dont even workout ?

Well today is actually an improvement over other days. I'm wearing a pair of jersey shorts in a size medium like you wear over a leotard. A ratty grey sweatshirt from a different millenia in a size 3x. A belt to sling my ipod holster on so there's no step left behind. My iphone. A pair of reigndeer slippers (fake). And a smile. There's a new sheriff round these parts. Cuz it looks like I'm wearing a gun slinger belt. LOL. Pics or you're not wearing it!

God. You're in real people clothes??!!! #notworthy

My mom came down for lunch and we went to a dog friendly local pub with her little ones.

I put on my “good” leggings & T-shirt, and even coordinated my flip flops ??

What did we do?!?!?!

I swore i was going to wear xyz... All I do now is try on my wardrobe to see what has gotten to big ?

I have become a total diva with my "not just around my neighborhood" wardrobe. I have sooo many clothes, I hate repeating an outfit. My bf has never seen me in the same thing twice . With work associates, if I wear a black dress one time, I'll make sure I wear a colorful skirt the next, and skinny trousers the next. Thank goodness the most frequently I see anyone I work with is quarterly ?

Buuut ... you dress up for Walmart!

You know the last outfit I wore to Walmart ... leggings and a t shirt that fit when I was 100 lbs heavier! They didn't clash, but they didn't exactly match either

Yesterday my only trip out of the house was to walk to 7-11. I wore pajama bottoms they gave away on a flight, that also fit me 100 lbs ago. I think the 7-11 employees must think identical twins live in the neighborhood. One twin is homeless, the other drives a nice car ?

My dress up to avoid social media persecution days have stalled... Terribly.

I fear I will be in a caftan riding a scooter soon. Real Soon. Maybe tomorrow ??

You look awesome!!

My uniform these days is jeans (Levis skinny), tops I bought in Australia (because no one else has them here, dammit) and Rothys. Sometimes wedge heels. Lots of delicate jewelry.

But tomorrow I’m working from home so it’s likely going to be leggings and a flashdance 3x top or just my Natori robe, right up until someone makes me do a videocall and then I’ll put on a bra and a nice shirt and brush my hair. But not one moment before that!

I have to admit I cycle through the same 15-20 items of clothing; everyone sees me in something they very likely saw me in last week, and possibly even a repeat from the day before. Meanwhile I own 3999 items of clothing and need to just donate them already.

Black jeggings, oh I used to envy Fluffy Chix and the rest because I never could find them to fit my former fat booty without going to Catherine's or Added Dimensions in Columbus. Well something seems to have happened on my way to the Zoo to see the kinfolk. These are not the largest Wally World stocks, but one down. And on top my my firstest Junior Top, stripes, a size 19 and it says " I do rule my world" not painted, not hot bonded like at the Fair but Honest to God embriodery, like the young small girls wear! Maybe a small victory, on my feet a pair of yellow non- skid socks. Every time I have an Endoscopy at OSU, they give me a new pair. I think the total is 12 pairs, got one set at surgery, another from the Week stay where I received my PICC line. So I will be able to open my own Hosiery Emporium pretty soon because another pair will be coming my way next Wednesday. Pretty soon they should be able to put all my internal photos in a scrapbook. ❤??

Stylin!!! Love that you are so coordinated!!!

Why does this little guy have to look so pervy?

Yeah you're right, rather a "Come here, look what I'm packing!" that expression , I was tempted to say " Oh, did you get another piece of luggage?" Inside the Bad Evil ME is thinking "Oh a train case, scarcely qualifies as a Carry-On!"
