Weight - 186.9

Under Bust - 33.5

Waist - 32

Hips - 45.5

Aunt Flo ensured I didn't lose as much as I'd have liked to this week LOL, but that's okay, cause I stacked on two kilos during the week and had them back off before weigh-in today.

OMG

I just went to look at the cloaks

I didnt know you meant THOSE cloaks

WOOWWW

I love em.. what a wonderfull idea creating this business

I have a gothic 14 yr old who would be so jealous.. lol

I wish we werent poorer than we have been in over 10 years.. It would make a great gift (her BIG gift.. since so far I cant think of anything else..)

(we are kinda forgoing xmas this year.. living in a camper..lol)

I really really want one..!! your pics make them soooo appealing..

I wanna wear one outside.. and at camp and well.. lots of ways..

MAYBE this is what I can reward myself with when I loose alot of weight!

I have a friend (net friend) who says when I loose the weight she will give a 250$ shopping spree at hot topic (or anywhere) and although I NEVER plan to accept her offer... Its on topic..

I can sew great!! I used to make halloween costumes all kinds of things..... I mean I USED to be able to .. but the cutting and sewing is too painfull for me.. BUT as I get well It would be cool to try to make a cloak!

BUtthat alot of fabic...

how do you make a profit??

anyway

WOW

THOSE ROCK!

Since there is 10 people I thought I could ask a question or poll type thing just to help me out some~

The question is..

IF you win this challenge what color cloak will you ask for?

You dont have to make a special post to answer me, Just put it with next weeks stats~ That way I can kinda see what I need to be ordering~

I would probably choose the good ole traditional black, Nana. I absolutely love the olive and burnt orange, but I know I'd end up wearing those less lol.

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
