Had to Buy New Jeans :)



Recommended Posts

Finally, a difference in more than just the scale.< /p>

My 18W's got too big but I could fit into regular 18's which are now too big also, so I had to go buy a size 16 jeans :) Yippee. Still not a size to be proud of, but now I don't have to shop in the fat lady section anymore :)

You have every reason to be proud! Keep up the good work! Isn't it a great feeling to fit into smaller clothes.

You may consider supporting your local Goodwill, etc. by purchasing clothing there until the time u r at your goal size/weight. You'll be surprised how much $$ u can save & with quality. No one has to know but you.ohmy.gif

Congrats. It's a great feeling isn't it?

I am in need of some new pants, but I guess I will wait until later in the year since it is almost short weather.

Congratulations! I know I've been greatly enjoying buying smaller sized jeans. I saw the comment about Goodwill and I totally agree. I am such a thrift store junkie now, that I can't imagine paying retail for all my clothes, even after I lose all my weight. Why would you want to, when you can get practically new (and sometimes with tags still on) clothes for way less than 1/2 price. Definitely try out the thrift stores.

Well, I AM proud of my size 16 jeans. Coming from a 34/36 or 6X and not being able to find jeans at all... I don't mind wearing 16's in the least. :) I am heading towards smaller ones though.

I say walk tall and be proud of any weight loss accomplishment. :)

I bought new jeans last week...Size 18! I have been wearing my old size 26's for so long just trying to hold them up with belts and stuff, but it was time to send them packing (to the goodwill).

Congrats on the new size, it is so exciting!

Just remember, don't hang on to those old BIG sizes. Give them away, throw them away, sell them...whatever you do, don't keep them. Don't give yourself an excuse to gain a pound!!!!! ;)

Aw, congrats!

By far, the best feeling ever - when your jeans are too big, falling off and you need to get a size smaller...often!

Congrats to all! :D

It is very exciting fitting into the next size down...no matter what size that may be. I also did some shopping this past weekend. I finally cleared out my closet and gave 3 bags of clothes to goodwill. I'm down 2 sizes so far and i feel great...hubby keeps giving me compliments...wahoo!!!:D :D

      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.
