So I am day 3 - post op and experiencing many of the same hurdles so many have posted that had surgery before me... but instead of focusing on those hurdles, I thought it would be nice to lighten the mood a little and see how people will respond to the following prompt:

What is or was your goal outfit?

I think (well... strike that - I know) that I am a little weird in that I don’t have a goal outfit in mind. I thought that I would pick one out before I went in for the big event, but the more I thought about it, it just felt strange to pick out and purchase smaller clothing and honestly I didn’t want the side glances from other people in the store when I purchased a dress that didn’t fall into the three T’s: Tent, Tablecloth, Tapestry. So instead, I decided that my goal outfit will be a kayak. A true kayak - not one of the open ones. When I can get in and out and paddle an entire day without falling dead of exhaustion and perhaps catch a couple fish - - -I will call it GOAL!!!

How about you? What is or was your goal outfit?

I would love to wear dresses without feeling the need to layer it. I'm planning a road trip in August and would just love the extra space in my suitcase!

I have loved this weight loss bonus! So much more room in my suitcase, I can pack waaayyy more clothes and shoes when I travel!

I am so mad that I donated what I would have loved to be my goal outfit not too long ago (but before i decided on WLS). It was the pants that I wore the night I met my husband and i was tiny then since I was tiny my whole life till about 25 when bipolar symptoms started and medication along with depression made me gain a ton of weight. I remember the brand and they were plaid so I even tried searching used clothes on eBay to find them but had no luck. I did save some other outfits that I wore around that same time but I thought it would've been cool to be able to fit back into that outfit and ask him if I’ve still got it. Lol
