where were you last year at this time

Since spring is trying to be sprung and hot weather is just around the corner...this is my question....
Last year at this time how were you handling the seasonal changes? Rather pre or post op did the warm weather make you change your plans?

For me I was recoverying from another hernia repair but I was looking forward weather hoping that for the first time I wouldnt be sweating like crazy and  miserable all the time...Plus I was thinking of swimming...now how about you?

This time last year I was preparing to go to California in April and glad that I had lost weight but completely unsure of what size I would be when I was ready to go-so some of the things I bought were too big, some did not fit yet, and a pair of shorts made it to Glitter completely unworn because I forgot about them.

This year we are going in May, and I'm so much less conflicted because I KNOW what size I will be, I know I can find clothes in the goodwill or the catalogue or anywhere I want and if I find something today it will still fit in May.  Now, I'm not complaining, just acknowledging that not knowing what size you are going to be for a trip is a huge pain in the patootie. 

Last year I was dreaming of scuba lessons, bought them at the end of last summer.  Might actually TAKE them this spring.  (It got cold before I got ready and this girl doesn't do cold water EVER).

I've already moved into sleeveless tops.  Yes, my upper arms are a fright, but it's less concerning to me than sweaty armpits.   Thanks to two very good goodwill runs, I have enough jeans to have some for fall, cool days AND cutoffs.  NO MORE Jean Rationing....debating whether it's "safe" to cut them off or should wait for sure warmer weather.

I still am searching for the elusive swimsuit.  My dilemma-now that I'm at the size I want to be, "it fits" is not good enough criteria.  I want something that is cute, BUT, I do water aerobics, climb in and out of boats, chase dogs, etc. so I also want something that will keep everything that is supposed to be covered covered.

Some of my end of summer clothes are still ok for this summer, meaning I now have OLD clothes in which to garden and do dirty things......so, I'm ready to get dirty. 

i understand what you mean. i was not going to wear sleeveless tops or shorts but I am like if they dont like it to bad...
I am a huge goodwill shopper...always seem to find some good deals there versus salvation army..whos prices are higher

One year ago I had just had my first consult with Dr Walton at WW and trying to decide if I wanted weight loss surgery or not.  It was a huge decision for me and most every waking moment was spent obsessing about my decision!  

I guess we all know how that turned out!  Yay! 

Happy Spring to all!

i am so glad that you made your decision!

A year ago I was going through yet another 6 month diet for my insurance and wanting to be closer in my journey and dreading teh heat and sweat so bad. I only wante dto stay in the AC all the time.

Oh girl, you are going to LOVE the warm weather then...........

My utility bills plummet in the spring and most of the summer-which makes up for the high one in the winter. 

and this summer you are going to enjoy a summer like never before!

This time last year, I was in the beginning stages of doing all of my preop testing and deciding which surgery that I wanted and reading all of the info that I could on both of them. I was scared and hated that it came to wls instead of just being able to not eat. This time last year I was tired all of the time and eating way too many carbs
