Summer shoe clear out. Yep, I still have shoes that are too big. Some I kept after that first 18 months because I thought maybe they’ll be ok next year. I really don’t understand my thinking sometimes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Some I still had as I didn’t wear them last summer. I have too many shoes. Anyway contacted the lady who sold some of my shoes last summer & hope she’s willing to take these. Maybe I’ll get something back to go towards the new shoes I’ve bought. Tee hee!

My latest Nordstrom Rack find, a pleather jacket-almost went with green, decided this caramel color would go with more.

Went to a fashion event last night. Yummy canapés (including ravioli bites where the ‘pasta’ was sliced beetroot - mmmm gooood), champagne & a refreshing gin cocktail. Just had to fight through the 80% humidity before reaching the air conditioning inside.

I wore navy for a change. Skirt is ribbed.

Hi everyone, I love seeing everyone’s outfits, very inspirational so thank you. Last night I had a gala to go to and was the first event I could dress up since COVID. I’m no going to lie, I felt quit self conscious about my arms due to the flappy excess skin but I got over myself after the first 5 minutes and enjoyed the night!!

Last beach day of the year (I was far too cold and it was in the 70’s) 😭 anyone else still cold?

Right there with you! This newly relocated Florida girl is freezing... It is 33 degrees here and 68 back in West Palm Beach. Oh boy. BUT enjoying all the fun fashions like new boots, jackets, sweaters for the cooler climate. I know my body will eventually adjust. Hope so anyway... Cuddling with Bobby does help.

Yay! A chance to finally go out! You look so pretty in that red dress! Love the neckline, shoes and toe polish... And, your arms look just fine. I conceal very bad bat wings - but do hope to get arm surgery when things settle down with COVID and our recent move.

I can’t even go down open refrigeration aisles in grocery stores 🥶

Greenville's pretty chilly, too. Come a little northwest to visit me! Let's go shopping for coats?! I think I'll need one here - not just layers like in Florida.

I LOVE your shoes!!! Your style impeccable. I went from a size 8 to 7. Almost completed the replacement project. Boots have been really fun to add to the wardrobe. Any new boots lately? Do model! You, too, ladies!

Great jacket @kristieshannon. What shade of green was the other one? Could be an interesting add to the wardrobe too. No one says you can only have one. 😉

A forget arms @Butterflyeffect. I think yours look pretty good to me. And your red dress is lovely. You look like you own that red carpet.

Looking gorgeous as usual @Sophie7713 Love the pink quilted jacket & the head to toe winter white ensemble … heavenly. Bobby is looking as adorable as ever.

Bit warm for boots here (31 degrees C today - summer is a comin’). But because we get northern hemisphere winter fashions here in summer, I did buy these black suede ankle boots. They’re very neat around the ankle & have elastic sides. The designer adds the little stud to rather heel of all her shoes as she has a beauty mark. I love that. I really want some knee length boots but they’re all too loose around the calves & slouchy. Where were they when my legs were bigger.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
