its so exciting to read everyone's progress. I'm two weeks in and I am down almost 2 sizes, my 24's and 22's are nice and roomy. I need to dig in some old clothes for some 20's and see what they are fitting like.

Congrats! That is amazing, I love reading success stories, my eyes tear up with JOY for you!!!

My surgery is Sept. 10th. I am currently a size 22 and I haven't been a size 12 in over 20 years, I just can't imagine myself below a size 16. I hope I get smaller than that but right now it just seems impossible.

I keep hoping I will drop sizes faster......but so far no go. I DID buy a pair of trousers in the regular sizes, and they were a 16 too :) So I guess from a 18-20 W to a 16 regular is progress but I so want to try the 14's! I still wear my 18w's to work every day, they are pulled up to under my boobs and I'm walking on the bottoms, but since they are mostly knit you don't notice the droopy crotch/butt too much....lol

Congrats!! I can't wait to be there with you :) I just tried on a pair of size 18 jeans and they button, but are just a litle tight yet! So exciting to move down from a 24 :)

I can only dream about being where you are now! I figure I'm maybe 2-3 months away, IF all goes well. I look forward to fitting into those sizes, but I'm not a fan of shopping. So instead of finding something decent from a few possible choices, I have a feeling I'll be overwhelmed with deciding among so many new options. I seriously get nervous when I think about THAT flip side, but it won't slow me down on this journey any, at least!

Shopping is a lot more fun now than it was 100 pounds ago. I still find myself looking at Lane Bryant clothes & bras. I can now fit into Victoria Secret, but have a hard time letting go of Lane Bryant...weird! Have fun creating your new wardrobe.:rolleyes:

Do you have any before and after pics? I wear a 24/26 and want to stop at a size 10/12

Hey Looking Ahead--I was a tight 24/26/28 (depending on the item of clothing) and am now in a 10/12/14 (again depending on the clothing--LOL). You can check out my profile for before/after pics. That's me at my -100 pounds mark, so I'm down around 20 pounds more from that pic. It makes a BIG difference. Of course I got to replace my entire closet, which was SO MUCH FUN!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
