... a frozen pizza, which used to be a snack for you, can last a whole week in the fridge.

Ain't that the truth!

And for some of my own

  • You don't need to push the car seat all the way back to get in and out of your car.
  • You don't rush to the bedroom to change into sweats after work, normal clothes are comfortable
  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"
  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual
  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.
  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting
  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

You do a double take when seeing yourself in the mirror

Someone you haven't seen in a while doesn't recognize you until you speak

You make frequent trips to the salvation army or goodwill as you know you'll only be in this size for a short period of time

You get weird looks from waiters/waitresses not because you're struggling to fit in the booth but because you tell them you don't need/want a drink with your meal

You eat to live and no longer live to eat

You get invited to something called "The Chocoholic Buffet," and after giving it some thought, you realize you aren't that interested.

:blink:

Amen Brother!

ahhh, I love my sweats still after a full day in the navy blue polyester

  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"

Hahahahaha

  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual

I just made my boss order new belts :)

  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.

Hand, thigh, clavicle bones,,, I mean who the heck Knew we had them?

  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting

ahh, no door here

  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

TMI

I love all of these!!!!

And yup to the "do you want fries with that?" Nope. Anything to drink "nope". Always gets a weird look!

Or in a restaurant when I say that I am ordering nothing... that alwasy gets a weird look too! Why order a meal when I can only eat a few bites... I just nibble off my family's plates and am fine :)

Oh and going through a clothing size in a month. That is WEIRD TO ME!!! But awesome :)

      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. 🤞
