We 60 year olds, don't really know that we are over 60 anymore than we know

that we are no longer MO. That being said, your mom just wanted to know what

it was like to wear the clothes.

My mother cracks me up. She kept telling me... " man I look like a witch with

my pointed nose " about herself. She kept saying that every time she saw her

reflection. I was still fat and she was at goal at this time. Now I know

why she would say those things. I thought she was nuts but really she was

still suffering from her mind not catching up with her body on her thinness.

Kinda funny looking back.

I'm beginning to think your mind NEVER catches up with your body. I mean,

look at me. Not bad for 47, but I keep looking for the fat woman there. And

I am nearly 22 years post op! I am 5'10 " , and my teeny mother, 5'5 " , who

had WLS a year after me, and weighs all of 110, maybe on a good day, keeps

buying clothes, which are too big for her, and then gives them to me. Go

figure. Of course, I will keep taking the clothes. LOL I can't convince her

that she doesn't fit a size 8. BUT I DO! And I buy size 14. Call me Ms.

Baggy Pants. It's a never ending circle.

haha I am thinking I'm in agreement with you definitely there, granted I'm

only 2 yrs out. It's prolly because I'm so used to failing every way of

eating....for like umm...19 or so yrs? That is a ton of failures EEEP! I

almost expect to wake up one day 300 lbs. I remember being a teen where I

was only thin for like a year or two...but when I was fatter I'd stare at my

legs and go..goodness..am I really THAT fat? Is that my leg? That leg is

so fat and huge..how can that be my leg? LOL

It's funny you mention that about the clothes. I got a new wardrobe from

my mom who was so in love with clothes that she bought 20 to 30 yr old

styles for her body and she is approaching 60. The styles were very cute

and indeed too young for her so I was happy to take them off her hands. I

just thought it was cute she'd go for clothes that made her try to look

younger. I know she is not the type to regret stuff in life but I will do

it for her just a little bit. I wish she had gotten this done when she was

30 and had a happier life to enjoy those fashions. But I can't spend too

much time there..as looking forward is more important. Her delaying tho to

much later in life is perhaps what motived me to get mine done sooner cause

I see all she coulda done.

Yep, 51 here, but after I had my boobs done and TT, I went to

Bloomingdale's and tried on all these strapless sexy evening gowns

just to see how they looked. I couldn't believe it was me! It's a

real out-of-body experience!

Now part of this is not funny. My sister is in prison, for drugs, and is

only 8 miles from me (She's from Texas, I live in Oklahoma). I went to see

her for visiting day. I was not wearing a bra. I don't need one. LOL. THEY

MADE ME GO HOME AND PUT ON A BRA. I did, and then I went back in, they

searched me, yanking it out from my body to make sure I didn't have anything

hidden, and then let it snap back. Oh, I was mad. Why did I have to put on a

bra for that? They knew in the first place that I didn't have anything. I

did searches for 20+ years. I'd take a no bra over a bra ANY DAMNED DAY.

Whoa...all kidding aside, Jac. What reason do you think they had

for sending you home for a bra? Did they tell you? Do they know

you personally and maybe were giving you a hard time?

Just wayyy curious.

I have no clue. I'm a retired cop and they know it (they ran my record

they kept finding things to keep me out. I made 3 trips in before I quit,

and I never did get to see her. <sigh>

I am still surprised when I look in the mirror, but not in a good way.

Before WLS, people always thought I was younger than I was -- my saying was

the fat pushed the wrinkles out! LOL! But post-op, I got WAY older looking,

and now people mistake me for much older than I am (I'm 48). I can't count

how many times I've been offered a senior discount at stores, and my hair is

not gray (there's a bit of gray in it but you have to look) and I don't

color it -- just my face looks old. We were at Fort for one of my

husband's reserve weekends, and I pulled out the debit card to pay for his

room, and the woman behind the counter said " So Mom will be paying for

this? " My husband graciously took off his hat (revealing his bald head, as

he has the baby face of all time) and said no, this is my WIFE, not my

mother.

In my next life, I want to be a man. That way if I look old, I can be

" distinguished " instead of " frumpy. "

When I was fat, I looked just like my Dad. Now that I weigh 158 pounds less, I

look in the mirror and I see my MOTHER!
