ok, another entry into the silliness category.

picture it. I am about 5'2 on a good day.

8 months ago, the skirts I wore to work came to just below my knees. flash forward to present day. my skirts (the ones that I can still wear (the ones with a belt or a cinch section as the rest are toooo big) are now dragging the ground. why is that..how come....am I shrinking? hub gets a big kick on that as I am not that tall as it is and now if i am not careful on some skirts, i could trip myself and fall down a staircase.

so the best i can make out is......the skirts had to go around the massive girth called my stomach and hence the shortness of the skirt....now that the massive girth is visiting my inlaws, the skirt length seems to be (growing downward) instead of around-ward (yes making up words as i go).

so here i sit, looking at my skirt and going, isnt that kewl..another sign (without using a scale)

to show that my band/plication is working.

time to go shopping! You are going to loose your skirts, silly girl! As short as you are, you would look much more attractive in a skirt about to your knee! Great NSV!!!!

absolutely! In my case length got hiked up by my fat a$$, hips and belly.... Shoot I could have eaten lunch on the butt shelf I had.... and now I have no butt. LOL Go figure. And I am tall but the so called maxi skirts never were very maxi. Now I trip on them!

Congrats CG.... just wait until you are done.... there is a tiny thing inside of you screaming to come out!

Just in case is not an option.

I have one pair of drawstring shorts....in size 4x in a bag in the back of my closet... they are just there as a reminder. Heck I even got rid of some 10s and 12s which were too big just last week..... no backsliding alowed on my watch CG!!!

Lol I can also relate, I remember I used to put skirts up against me and they would be ankle length only to get home, put them on and they'd be much shorter. All my skirts ate now the right length and a few I had to get rid off they were far too long and if course way too big.

An awesome NSV!!!! Gj cg!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
