I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I say just take the card and say thanks. If your ticker is current we're very close to the same weight. I just bought some jeans at Lane Bryant last week as well as some undies. They also had a lot of draw string pajamas there that will last through a few different sizes. Plus right now if you buy winter things you'll have clothes to wear for the winter. By spring/summer you'll be wearing clothes from a different season anyway.

My mom asked me just the other day if I wanted an LB gift card for Christmas. I had to remind her that I am having surgery next year so I didn't want to but a lot of clothes right now.

At first I felt like maybe she didn't believe me that I was going to go through with it.

She did say, "Oh ya that's right." So then I told myself that I have been wearing LB since I was 12, thats years old not the size. So this will take some getting used to for everyone.

Remember too that LB starts at size 14. I'm a 22-24 right now so if I got to a 14 I would be happy and still maybe shop at LB.

My goal of course like most of us is to be able to shop anywhere, and not be retricted.

Ok I see what the consensus is !!! I'm glad I took pause before I opened my mouth!!

I appreciate all of your input.

Ang- Yep my mom is average sized, she lost 120 lbs years ago, so she has forgotten some of the tribulations that go along w/ being obese.

When I was a teen I lost 135 lbs on my own over a 5 year period, but like most ppl. I could not keep it off. So when I started talking about surgery she just didn't get why I couldn't do what she did.

Leena- No Flames here! Congrats on your weight loss you are doing a fantastic job!! Yep we're almost the same weight, although I am really tall for a woman. I've started to pull out some of the clothing that I wore before I was pregnant and have noticed that my top is already down to a size 18 but my bottom is still larger.

I'm thrilled to see the numbers on my clothes and scale go down for the 1st time in years !!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
