What Are you DYING to Wear Once You Lose the Weight?



Recommended Posts

I am not yet banded, and currently my weight is 315. You can imagine I'm sure that there are not many choices for me.

For me, I am dying to wear hip-huggers and actually be able to wear a belt.I havent been able to wear a belt for 12 yrs. I want to say bye-bye to elastic pants FOREVER!. Anything elsastic or stretch for that matter. I would LOVE to wear a bathing suit without a sarong to cover my huge thighs

I am so looking forward to a smaller cup size, right now I am a 48 DDD. I hate walking into stores and walking past the lingerie isle and seeing all those cute little bra and panty sets in different colors and patterns and styles and then seeing plain jane stuff for women my size. Why is that anyway??? I want to be able to wear bikini panties and not granny panties the size of car covers anymore.

I want to be able to wear linen too. As we all know, you can not wear linen and look good in it if you are a larger size. It dosent stretch.

I would like to be able to put on a pair of stockings without feeling like I'm going to pop a blood vessel in my forhead or have an anurism from straining.

I would like to be able to wear tank tops, and spaghetti straps and right now I can't because I feel my arms are too large

Right now I have necklaces I can not wear because my neck looks like that of a linebackers! Sad. How did I let myself get this way? :rolleyes2:

I know a lot of what I am saying sounds humorous, but the fact of the matter is I'm not happy with the clothes I am currently reduced to wear.

Please share what you are dying to wear :0)

I love this conversation. Ok, I cant wait to wear knee high and probably even thigh high leather stilletos. Not the hooker kind - the superfly kind. I cant wait to wear Victoria's Secret negligees. I cant wait to wear a bustier w/skinny jeans and platform pumps. As you can see I've thought about this quite a bit.

I totally feel ya on that. I would kill to wear a Victorias Secret Negligee! Not to meantion Fredricks of Hollywood nighties too. Just to be at the point where I'm not constantly adjusting my clothes because they fit just right and flow with my body, would be a wonderful feeling.

Boy, where to begin. I would start with a all time favorite; matching bras and panties. Fredricks of hollywood is a wonderful store, but everything on the manequinns always look better on them than me :blushing: Then of course, I just want to be able to shop off the rack for a change. I actually hate shopping because everything I like is never in my size. I want to wear some fitted jeans with a fitted top that doesn't have lg rolls busting thru. And of course, I want to wear a gorgeous wedding gown, with all the bells and whistles and take pictures for the first time with a smile in 10 yrs. Mind you, I've been married for 14 yrs., but hate to see myself in those photos. I was 217lbs at the time. Not my dream photo.

Feeling all of what yall say!! But I am 51 and got some limits. However the real big one is "Get the hell out of plus size" I am lucky that my weight is evenly spread out, but my flat butt makes it look wider than it is. I want to have some pants that the legs aren't wide enough to make a boat sail!:blushing: Everything in plus seems to be that way. I read that your shoe size can go down as well so I am hoping for some fly azz shoes. I love shoes and my feet are wide and the pointy toes and high heels just aint working with this weight.

I just can't wait to buy anything that doesn't have plus or a X after it! I miss being able to shop at regular stores like the Gap or the Limited.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
