I did the Shimmy Shimmy Shake!!!



Recommended Posts

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!! Happy shopping!!!!!!!

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!! :)

I want this problem, I want this problem, I want this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL whew, had to get that out!!!! :-)

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!

Congrats!!

I say get them 12's, you will be wearing them in no time!

Well I followed your advice. I didn't make it to Ross yesterday because I got stuck in Burlington. I found a pair of size 16 jeans for $5.99 so of course I scoured the entire store down to find more pairs!! I ended up buying the exact same pair in a 14 and 12!!! For $5.99 you can't beat that price with a stick!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm totally satisfied now! Toodles!!!

This story made me smile so big :) I am so happy for you, and girl you are just like me if the B/F says go shopping you don't have to tell me twice!!! lol I've already had to buy new shirts, and as much as I love Ross they can be a bit expensive on some things, so I like to hit up the local thrift shops for gently used clothing, because we won't be wearing them for long :) Plus that just means that when we hit goal, there will be more money for us to buy a whole new wardrobe!! ;):P :thumbs_up:

Love it!!!! I'm still pre-op but one thing I've been looking forward to so much is purging the closet. I can visualize it - holding up jeans and sweaters and with a big smile saying "goodbye size 2X blue sweater....goodbye bootcut jeans size 22....goodbye leather belt that would comfortably fit Santa..." while I throw them into the Goodwill pile.

As much as I want to go shopping to by new clothes, I want to just hold out. So hunny shop for the both of s. I was a size 24 and though they droop and sag I really want to hold out on buying clothes until I reach wonder land. 20 more pounds to go then I'm there. I just see me balling out in Ross big time. Have fun!

Congrats!!!!

I second the idea of getting stuff you like in 2 sizes: one that's snug now and one size down and only buying two of any one clothing type except shirts and undies.

I am just now at the size I managed to diet to before I started gaining again and decided to have surgery, so I haven't had to buy much yet except new bras (bought two that fit and two that are too small when Macy's had the buy two get two free sale), new workout pants, and a couple of shirts.

Ohh that is sooo funny! Can't wait until it happens to me!:lol: I dream of cleaning out all those old things from my closet... I have stuff in there that is 10 years old and needs replacing... Gonna wait though until I get my shiny brand new sleeve... Oh to buy things I like instead of what hides the mess I am.

You were soooooooooo right!! I went back to Burlington and found some size 12s and I wore them to church 2 weeks ago!! I could not stop smiling. . . so after church we went to LadyVelvet's house [my sister] so she could squeal with me!!! Thanks!!:D:):D

      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.
