Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I have lost 35lbs and gone down from a size 22 (uk) to a 16, since 9.9.2009 when I got my band.

Last weekend I did some online shopping and I ordered a load of different types of knickers because I did not know what sort I would fit or would look nice - shorts, midis, high-leg, bikinis or what.

I just had to get rid of my "Bridget Jones" big knickers.

What a difference it makes to my self esteem to wear nice new underwear that is not baggy and tired and too big.

OK, they are just cotton chain store knickers but I have got black ones with lace, and some black and white polka dot ones and they are just great.

It puts a spring in my step! I can highly recommend it!:w00t:

That is a really fun feeling. I can't wait to throw away my 10 litre ones too.

I just did this too. I pulled the new ones out of the package and told hubby these look too small. They fit though and boy was I excited.

Nothing like sexy undies to make you feel great! (Even if no one else knows!) ;-)

That's really exciting. I haven't gone to buy any new ones yet, just enjoying the way that the old ones are now fitting correctly and some are getting too big. I'll go buy some soon. When I do go shopping for them, one of the stores that I am going to go into is Victoria Secrets. I am going to make a point to say something to someone in there too. The last time that I went in there was just to look and dream about being able to where something in there and the little girl (Young & Small) was so rude, seeing my size, that I was extremely insulted. Don't know that I would ever buy anything from there ever, because of that. They are not the only sexy undy store around.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
