I did the Shimmy Shimmy Shake!!!



Recommended Posts

Last night I was on a mission. I wanted to wear jeans to work today so I dug in my closet and pulled out every pair of jeans that I had. Honey I gave away 13 pairs of jeans last night!!! :D :D I would try on a pair, run to the mirror, see that they were too big -- then the music would play in my head!! At first it was very faint and then it got louder and louder and that's when I would do the Shimmy Shimmy shake until the jeans fell off my body!!! I was cracking up so hard and making such a ruckus my husband had to come upstairs to make sure I hadn't completely lost my mind!:lol: :lol: :lol: I told him my "dilemma" and he was like, "Well I guess you have to go shopping then!" You don't have to tell me twice!;) ;) As soon as I get off work this afternoon I'm making a B-Line to the nearest Ross [my favorite store in the world] and buy me some cheap jeans cause I don't plan on being in a size 16 for long. Heck I may even buy me some 14s and 12s . . . well maybe not the 12s but it sure feels good thinking that I can buy some and get into them in a few months!

I'm soooooooooo glad I got this sleeve!!! It has really been a life saver. I used to take 5 pills a day and now I only take 1 pill a day and it's at the lowest dosage!!! Praise God!!!

Just wanted to share my little happy story with you all!! Take care!! :)

Congrats! And Ross has become my favorite store now too! I can always find something on the clearance rack. My advice would be also to definitely check out the dresses. The are usually super cheap and even if you lose 10-15 lbs you can still wear it :) . . . I've gave away so many clothes it's almost bittersweet. It's (finally) fun to shop again. But you don't wear the clothes for too long. Congrats again! :)

Fantastic!!! I remember when I finally had to give away my whole closet because of the loss. I was wearing sad, baggy clothes and I looked terrible. I learned my lesson, though. DON'T BUY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF ANYTHING! Once you start to lose, you will be buying new clothes every 4-6 weeks. It's awesome and irritating all at the same time.

Congrats to you!

Yay!!!! That's awesome! If you like skinny jeans, I would say try Forever 21 they have a plus size section and I just bought 2 pair of size 16's for $12.50 a piece.

WHAAAATTTT!!! Forever 21 I love that store. Every time I go in there I head straight for the accessories cause I didn't think they had anything to fit me. I'm going there this weekend!!!! Thanks for the tip!

they have cute stuff! And reasonable and trendy (unlike Torrid!) . . . go online and look at thier stuff. It's forever21.com . . . and then click on faith (that's their plus size line). Just know no refunds, just exchanges :)

      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.
