Walking into a clothing store and being told your too small for our clothes we only carry size 16-32 . Even though the body is shrinking the brain has to catch up .

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench, what an exciting time for you, remember to walk and sip water and get in your protein before you know it you will running around again resuming normal activitys.

That is very nice of you and thanks for sharing.

Hi congrats on your choice on being healthy I agree pain is normal try a heating pad and if you think its to much to bear always contact your doctor for suggestions. Good luck my friend.

I agree with Suzemuze once I started loosing weight my once best friend begin to have insecurities about herself the more weight I lost the bitter she became, despite the fact that I had offer to have her come to the gym with me , not to mention she was always a gym person and always was getting the attention and now she is the one that has gained the weight while i loose and all the male attention is on me now. I do not apologize for me wanting and being healthy I am happily marriage and has been for 20 years. You will see that true friendships are based on people loving you for you and wanting the best for you no matter what your size is. But I have learned that my weight has built my self confidence while it has help others realize their flaws in themselves.

What you are feeling is normal, dont worry you will be able to eat again, I agree with the above post trust in your doctor an your choice being healthy is so worth it good luck my friend and remember to take one ay at a time.

Hi I am going to get a butterfly to represents the new me, within the next two weeks.

Hi for me it was the side affects, then I realize that if I did not have this surgery the side affects of dying fro my comorbilities out weigh everything, Now I am loving life and the new healthy me and wish i had done it earlier but it was meant for me to have this surgery and I am loving the new me.

Hi I would have to say a size 10 dress, I use to weigh a size 3 x and I am now wearing a size large dress and loving it, I still have not reach my target weight yet but I am loving the new me, and look forward to reaching my goal, once I am at that size I can tell if I am happy with that size or not but I do know I look great in my size large dress LOL.

I agree with the above statements be honest with yourself and your partner, my husband has been very supportive from the very start he loves me unconditional no matter what size I am, although the weight lost helps you become healthy you must remember the people who are in your corner and who were their for you. This should enhance your commitment because you are making choices to be healthy which makes yo a better person, poor choices is what got you into this point in the first place and you need to always keep that in mind.

Hi I have lost friends because of my weight lost but they were not true friends, I have met new friends at the gym and I am loving the new me, I am not going to apologize to anyone for me wanting to be healthy and finally doing what it takes to get there, this has been no far from a long journey but it has been worth it, all the hurdles and appointments and test were so well worth the results. I can now do things that I only dreamed about. I a m loving life again and the way I see it true friends accept you for you and want you to be happy not sick and unhealthy, so with that saying I am loosing the weight and dropping off dead weight people who mean me no good.

I agree with rte837 why are you having buyers remorse you need to provide more information , your goal us to be healthy not unhealthy you already know what unhealthy feels like are you afraid of the unknown ? I would began attending up port groups and get into thearpy this is an emotional time fir you but being healthy outweighs anything . My only regret is not doing it sooner . Good luck .
