While sitting at my desk this morning... I felt very uncomfortable ~ like my pants and panties were getting all tangled up. I was in such a rush this morning... I just got dressed fast and left for work. When I went to the ladies room, I realized my panties are WAY TOO big!

Silly....but that felt GREAT... I need to go shopping for smaller panties tomorrow!! :rolleyes:

Fitting into smaller clothes- even panties is such a great feeling. Keep up the good work!

That has to make you feel good. :)

I was at the gym the other day and had to keep pulling my shorts up while running on the treadmill. These same shorts were a bit tight just a few months back. :D

Good for you! I've been trying to hold off on buying new stuff because I'm trying to save my money for my new goal wardrobe!. I'm trying to wear what I've got for as long as I can so I don't have to buy so many different sizes. I may have to rethink it though. On Friday, my sister took me for a manicure & pedicure for my birthday. She said she was embarrassed because my jeans and top were so big I looked like a bag lady. For some of the cheaper stuff, like panties and jeans, I'm going to take them in until I can't take them in anymore. I don't want to do that to my work clothes because they are more expensive and in excellent condition and I'm going to try to sell them at a yard sale so I don't want to alter the size.

Oh yeah! Saggy bottom. Been there! Isn't it a great feeling? I had baggy bra, too..that was sad! :(

AquarianCrab, you might also be able to sell them at a consigment shop and get a little more than at a yard sale.

I've taken to wearing shorts under my skirts to keep them up! I'm not financially ready for an intermediate wardrobe yet as I am saving for the BIG shopping spree! Woo Hoo!

Great Job everyone! We can do this! (duh--we ARE doing this!)

I feel like if I'm not careful, most of my pants will just fall right off my butt, they're so loose! Oh and also, for the intermediate stages, thrift shops and clearance racks!

I just got new panties in the mail today! This is a BIG NSV for me, since before I went into maintenance mode I just bought plain, cheap ones as I shrank. But now that I'm right where I want to be, I got some really cute ones! Also got two nice new bras, and a bikini that I look dang hot in! :o I've never been the materialistic or superficial type, but just this once I'm enjoying having some nice (SMALL!) things to wear that I look good in! Yet again my band journey has amazed me...

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
