Yesterday I got tired of my super baggy pants...and since I wasn't sure of what size to get I went to Walmart (thought since sizes change so fast I don't want to spend a fortune on clothes). I was so surprised that the size 18W slid right on--no "sucking" in or dancing around to get them zipped...I was amazed because pre-banding I was wearing a size 28W...never thought I would be able to wear a smaller size again. I tried to explain this feat to my husband but he just didn't get it. I am excited and needed to share my excitement with people who will understand and join me in this simple celebration!!!

I just had my 5 month check up yesterday and I'm down 50 lbs now. I've gone from a 24 to an 18 pants. My surgery was May 11th and I'm tickled pink. I think I'm pretty close to being in the green zone and very excited. Just wanted to brag about my band!! Your doing great!!! And keep it up!!!

Wtg...I know how great it is to not do the suck it in and blow it out! I went from a 22 to a 16 in a few months and still feel like the man never gets excited enough but I come on here and get all the happy dances I need :)

WTG--I went to Walmart last week and tried on new clothes, M-L shirt and 18 pants. Originally size 24. My husband was just as excited as I was. His comment, I saw it all along, keep up the good work he said.

the best I got out my hubby was " wow, you look like a bean pole". I took that as a compliment from he of few words... congrats!!

I still get a kick when I look at a size 10 and think there is no way that is going over my butt and they slide right up and no muffin top.... lol

Congratulations girl! What an accomplisthment! I would be shouting from the rooftops.

I have lost 47 lbs so far and my clothes are a little baggy, but I don't think I'm down any significant sizes. I can still fit into my 26W and 24W clothes. I know I'm doing what I should and weight is coming off, but I love hearing these stories of you ladies having fun shopping. I WILL get there.

Keep up the good work to all of you on your journey! We got this!

Next time you are in a clothing store try on a smaller size just for the heck of it. You might be suprised! When I first started loosing weight and my clothes got loose I kept thinking that my 20W still fit untill my mom pushed me into trying on smaller sizes. Wow I was down to a 16 without realizing it. So, try what harm is there in that?

      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
