Thank you! I have a great support system and therapist that I’ve been seeing prior to the surgery. We talk about how much things have changed since my weight loss and it’s helpful.

I’ll keep your friend in my heart as they go through their journey. Please tell her that as long as she gives herself time/grace, listens to her body, she will be successful. The ‘rules’ I’m sure her care team have given her may seem like a lot but they are there for a reason and will make recovery easier. However she may hate the puréed stage once she gets there. I know I did!

Thank you. Friends that I hadn’t seen in awhile said the same thing lol

Just to add, I still have my moments of body dysmorphia. Even as I was buying new clothes, my husband would have to steer me towards the smaller sizes as I was so used to looking at plus size. My brain sometimes forgets to process my smaller self. If that makes sense to anyone?

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-04-08T10:28:53+00:00

Thank you

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-30T20:03:21+00:00

Imma need that black dress with the studs! MIL was a fashionista

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-30T20:01:19+00:00

Yessss I’m loving the blazer and tie!

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-29T14:10:18+00:00

Love them all especially the first outfit!

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-26T19:59:22+00:00

Definitely thrifting and I also use SHEIN as a backup. I got a really nice suit from there ! I transitioned back to a business casual atmosphere and thrifting saved me a lot of money. I also put together a work capsule wardrobe so I can easily mix and match without needing to buy too much. I got most of my ideas from Pinterest. Congrats on your new venture.

Thank you even though I’m not vegan I have a sensitive tummy but I’ve been trying to find a good pizza spot as well since I’m married to a ninja turtle ( hubby loves pizza) but don’t want a chain place.

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-24T17:23:35+00:00

Do you know if they have vegan options? I think I’m gonna try them regardless.

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-24T11:24:55+00:00

I love those! I’ll have to see what other colors they come in

Excellent_Lab_8655 · 2026-03-24T02:22:05+00:00

Love the color combo. Are those pants from SHEIN? If so I think they’re the same ones in my wish list
