Topic: Does anyone have any size 16 spring or summer clothes I can buy?
I am looking for a few spring and summer tops, capris, etc. and I am willing to pay you for them. My 18s are getting so baggy in the butt and legs, people I work with are commenting. I hate to go buy anything new, since I am sure I will be in 14s in a month or two. If you have anything, please let me know.
Thanks,
Carla

Hi Amy! I think you are doing great! I know what you mean about resturants. I am so intimidated when I go to a new place, because I am just not sure what to order. I have always been able to select something off the menu with ease, and since surgery I get anxious going to a new place and having to order. I have found that if I relax and take my time, I can order something that meets my needs. I often ask for veggies with no butter or sauce, or everything on the side. I have even asked an all fried place for soemthing baked, and they did it. Don't be scared to ask questions, you will be suprised. Most places try to accomodate.
I am in love with my face. Sometimes I just stare at the mirror. I am not being arrogant, but I haven't seen myself look this way in years and I am so happy! Clothed, I like the rest of me- but not naked! LOL!
Have a great Wed!
Hugs,
Carla

Renee;
Your post is pretty vague. Depending on your starting weight, your weight loss may be right on target. Why are you scared to death? Are you exercising? Are you keeping a food diary?
I've found keeping a food diary helps me when I stall because I can look for trends in what I'm eating when I'm losing.
How long have you not been losing weight? Have you tried the Plateau Buster diet?
Please give us some more information so we can help you.
Blessings,
Jennifer

you are doing fine I had my surgery Nov 2nd have only lost 69lbs. My surgeon says its fine. this is the normal rate of weightloss for us. You are probably losing inches so check your measurements. But inall honesty I understand the frustration but I am looking at the fact that I am healthier than I ever was before surgery. Also look at the OH's BMI chart I think it helps to see there estimated weight loss.

Jennifer,
I too thought that WLS would cure all kinds of things that just aren't going to change because I weigh less. I still have to take thyroid medication to regulate my metabolism, and probably will for the rest of my life.
I'm still thankful for my increased health and energy that has been the result of losing 80 pounds so far!
FYI: I just came off antibiotics and those pills were pretty big, but I had no problems with taking them or getting them stuck! My first month post op I was so careful with stuff like that, but now my pounch and parts seems to be able to handle things much better.
Take care,
Tammy

Thank you for the response. yeah now that I think about it I probably could have had the buffalo chicken wings. But also I dont normally go to taverns. So I have never had this experience till now. Thank you for th ewords of encouragement.
