What's on Your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

HaHa.. I think for me it's the confidence that I am no longer the "Biggest" girl in the mall

and I CAN wear this stuff and look pretty.  

Good morning!!!  So far, favorite post op purchase was an underarmor workout outfit (size xl) from modells.  I was so excited to buy my first normal sized clothing.  I wore it for the first time yesterday and my husband came in the door and said it really looked good and showed off how much I've lost.  I even got a compliment from a stranger at the gym.  It really felt good.  Can't wait until I can buy skinny jeans and boots!  Next winter . . .

Time since surgery:  5 months

B:  7 shrimp

L:  Curry chicken salad & spinach

D:  up in the air

S:  skinny tea latte

E:  treadmill 1 hour

V/W:  started

You should look for boots now. They are on sale in a lot of stores.

Good Morning Everyone,

Wow, what a fun topic!  Can I say everything I've purchased since losing weight, lol.  I think my favorite thing is just not buying things in huge sizes or having to buy things and stretch them out before putting them on.  I love buying jeans b/c i'm a freaking size 8, me?!?!?  How did that happen?  I'm really really looking forward to buying a maxi dress for summer, I always am jealous of woman wearing them when it's hot outside, but thought when I was MO it looked like a mumu on me.  So, this summer I fully plan to rock a maxi dress or two (assuming my arms don't look ridiculous do to hanging skin).  Berry, I love the idea of a makeover and new makeup, I get "ready" now all the time, where as before I was a jean/sweatshirt/pony tail girl who secretly wanted to be glammed up, but thought what was the point?  Getting ready feels awesome now and it's like a daily NSV that I actually want to take pride in my appearance :)

Time since surgery: 13 months

B - 2 string cheeses

L - TBD (Wed work lunch)

D - Birthday dinner for a friend at a Cuban resturant.  I'm excited to try it, but will checking out the menu before I go so that I have a good plan in place

W/V - On track

E - None planned, but I'd like to try and squeeze in some kickboxing or a DVD when I get home from the dinner if at all possible.  I gotta start toning up so I can get into that Maxi dress, lol!

I'm looking forward to trying a maxi dress this summer too!  I've been eyeing them at modcloth.  They have so many cute ones!  I love shopping

haha...I love shopping too!  I've replaced food with shopping for sure.  Modcloth does have some cute ones!  I'm seeing more and more maxi dresses out and it hit me a few weeks ago that I could actually buy one....I got so excited, I totally geeked out.  First summer in 10 years where I can actually dress like it's summer :)

That's it, that's exactly how I feel!  Getting ready is a daily NSV.

Speaking of maxi dresses, I bought one a couple of summers ago for a lawn party at my aunt's house.  I thought it looked pretty good, because I was all covered.  It was black, because obvs.  Well, lemme tell you, my other aunt posted (and tagged me) in about 100 pictures on Facebook and I look like a beast, wearing a piece from Omar the Tentmaker's summer collection.  Terrible.  My next maxi dress purchase will be much better.  LMAO

Oh no, that was the worst pre-op!  I used to hate it when I would actually feel like I looked cutish or decent, then someone would post a photo and I would look like Gigantor.  It would crush me.  I think that's why I would literally run if someone brought a camera out.  Now, I still don't love pictures of myself, but at least I feel like I look somewhat normal and am not filled with shame if a photo I'm in does happen to get posted, lol.  

PS.  For some reason it was always aunts who would post the worst photo's of me too pre-op,  WTF?!?!  One aunt would always say "as bad as you think you look, it'll only get worse with age"  haha...luckily, due to RNY, I'm proving her wrong :)

Hi,

I don't really have a purchase that is a favorite yet.  I do like the way my feet feel they are losing some width.  I am looking forward to buying some new shoes/sandals and summer clothes though.  Not sure if I can wear skinny jeans though, I have a lot of jiggly leg/arm fat. :(  I would like to wear a few summer dresses though, even with arm fat.
