Find #1 from today’s clearance rack shopping... $20 marked down from $80!

Supposed to be a fitted jumpsuit, but today’s body dysmorphia convinced me that this size would be plenty tight (it looked so tiny on the hanger!) And since changerooms were closed had to take it all the way home to figure out it was in fact too big (even though the kid kept telling me at the store to get the one 2 sizes smaller).

Tried to style it so it looked less “utility” and more “slick”, but then the kid said I look like an airport baggage handler and now I can’t get that image out of my head...soooo its going back. Le Sigh.

This looks SO FABULOUSLY CHIC and body lengthening on you!! And what a buy! I hope you’ll smile at the silly utility comment, chalk it up to the lack of exposure from that well intended jokester and instead envision yourself on the Paris catwalk before returning it!! Your boots, belt, accessories and attitude make the difference👌. Truly gorgeous!😍

Try to find something skin tight... You've worked too hard to look baggage claim couture! Haha.

SO CUTE!!!! Now you're talking like an interior designer! All the nuisances of light and color theory! Haha. Also, important stuff for you in professional photography. Love your jacket, though. And, it does take on differing hues like this lavender leather that goes gray, taupe and beige... Just call us the chameleons!

Every time I see you in this jacket I love it more and more ❤️

ms.sss - how about these??? For the May covid cabin trip - I was inspired by Arab to get a full cover swim suit (sun sensitive, baggy arms and legs) and, for the cool Water lake + streams there. This was what I found. Certainly do not have that gorgeous, svelte linear figure (and, those 3 extra inches) as you - to pull it off! But it was famously functional... haha. Water shoes to boot.

Trip to therapist today.

P.S. Had an NSV this week at doctor's. The nurse used the regular blood pressure cuff on me without giving it a second thought AND it worked!!😊

Hey, bite your tongue! You are TOTALLY pulling it off...your legs look like they go on and on and on (which, as an aside, is why I love jumpsuits/long fitted dresses/monochromatic top and bottom...as it makes us shorties look taller than we really are, lol)

Are those thumb holes on the sleeves?? I love those things!

P.S. as for the jumpsuits, i'm looking for something a little snugger than the beige one but not as snug as that denim one, lol. Plan on heading back to the store sometime soon to get a smaller size of the baggage claim suit and see if makes me feel less like needing to wear a florescent vest while holding those flashlight thingees. 😂

@Nermada, oh, I also meant to say something to you way back when I read you post and my thoughtlessness got the better of me... :(

I do hope that things are on the mend at Casa Nermada, and am sending you good vibes all the days long ❤️

I wanted an all in one like yours, Sophie, though just to my knees.(Love the floral print on the top half of yours.) But because the summer stock wasn’t in yet I ended up with the shorts & long sleeved top set. No finger holes though - I love those too.

I think that denim jumpsuit would look fab on you Ms.SSS. I think you should seriously consider getting that one or one like it.

Congrats on the NSV, Nermada. I love NSVs. They make you feel just so happy.

Thank you. Pretty sure there was no thoughtlessness involved! We all have a million things on our minds, and some are bound to slip every now and then. ❤

So went to try to exchange my baggage claim suit for a smaller size, but there were none left 😢. So I got these 2 pairs of jeans (same style, just different rinses), plus this cropped polo shirt for the same price as the returned jumpsuit + another $4. Triple Score! I heart end-of-season sales.

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
