Recommended Posts

My daughter (age 16 and size 10) went through her winter clothes last weekend before we went to buy her some summer clothes. And I snagged on to a few of her things she doesn't want. Because I KNOW by late winter I will need those! :))) I cannot wait to be that size or smaller! Then we went shopping for her at Aerie and you know what? I want to wear that cutesie stuff too!! I am looking forward to shopping!

Yeah, I can't wait to be able to shop in any store I want and shop with my friends in the same stores. It kind of feels like I have missed out on what is supposed to be a part of growing up.

Shopping is soo awesome. I went from a 4x (only could get them in certain stores) to a 2 x and now I can go to malls it is soo awesome..I guess I like shopping for myself when I can actually find the size with out going to the big and tall mens store..YOu have to love nsv"s . It has been a blast soo far. The only bad thing about it is I don't have anymore money to buy clothes.

MeMeMEEE, my daughter (20) worked at Aerie for a year before the mall flooded (we live in Nashville). She spent all her money there and I just thought it was all the cutest stuff'! I hadn't even thought about being able to shop there for myself. Is it weird that I'm excited about buying panties that do NOT come in a 6-pack?????

My husband was concerned about how much money I would have to spend on all new clothes once I lost the weight. I explained that it would still probably be cheaper than what I'm spending now at Lane Bryant. I can shop sales, clearance racks, discount stores, consignment instead of always having to buy full-price stuff at the "big ladies" specialty stores.

I hit a garage sale today - found myself buying things for my daughter that if she doesn't like I will sit back for me hehe! I am pretty sure I need to organize my closet in to sizes!

Ahhh - how wonderful that everyone is anticipating having to shop for new clothes...and looking forward to it! Drawback is that you do spend a lot of money, but try thrift stores (I shot threw size 12 in 2 weeks) and many of my clothes had tags on them. Careful about hanging onto clothes since sizes vary from maker to maker. I only buy deeply discounted sale items for now. Gotta love the sleeve!

I actually have a couple of old pieces of clothes that I've saved for years, hoping to get into them again. I'm looking forward to that even more than going shopping for new stuff...actually, when all is said and done, I think those old clothes may actually be too BIG for me!! What a day that will be!

        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
