Just bought a size 10 goal pants - am I being unrealistic?
Pepper123 replied to yogachick's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh no its not...i bought a size 10 even before i had surgery...When i hit size 10 i did not even know...and now am a size 8 need to work on my tummy so i see no bulged LOL...it makes me work out at the gym even harder...I know what i spend to get those clothes...Am a bit LOL top heavy and i bought a medium dress all on sale of course....and it will fit TRUST me....good luck!! -
Honest i was scared on the inside...Then the day of surgery i was calm as ever..Surgery for me was on a Tuesday...discharged on a Thursday and went to work the following Monday. I have a desk job and trust i really appreciate sitting. For weeks just walking up the Train steps was a struggle..i got tired very easily. The actual surgery was a breeze..it's the after that was hard but it slowly got better...Good luck!!

congrats and good luck!!!
