I also love the fact my daughter can wrap her arms around me. I found my rib cage this morning and made both my husband and daughter come feel them LOL.

96 pounds gone.....I love that!!!!!

Shopping in regular sizes

Crossing legs

Walking by a mirror or glass door and realizing that is me

My life not revolving around food anymore

Shopping in regular sizes

Not feeling self conscious in a crowd

People telling me how young I look

Shopping in regular sizes

Shopping

Shopping

Shopping

I have many years to make up for....I can remember going to Disney years ago and going shopping and could not find anything that looked good on me in the 4X or 5X's.

I love going in and trying on clothes....it's good exercise too!

Ha Ha

I love sitting with my legs crossed again after almost 10 years.

I weigh less than anyone in my house now,

My waist is now 33 inches and my skinny butt husband wears a 34. (he's 6'2")

I can wear smaller clothes

I feel sexy now for the first time in years.

I feel more comfortable now when sitting on the couch or driving my car. (just got a new one)

People are really starting to notice that I've dropped 58 lbs and comment now because they see the difference and not just because they know I had surgery.

There are so many good feelings. The biggest is that my self esteem is really coming up because I feel people are noticing me for the right reasons and not just because I am fat. It is funny how when you are bigger that people don't really approach you to talk or look you in the eyes as much. I didn't think people were so judgemental about people who are overweight, but I am finding out that they are.

I love my calves- I look great in a skirt now.

I also think my backside looks pretty good.

My waist and rib-cage are super tiny-- I had no idea! When I wear the big-belt-over-shirt look I sometimes need a size small belt. Holy crow! (Unfortunately I still have the double belly roll + FUPA so that kills some of the excitement)

      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
