Everyone in my family and everyone I work with has been on me about my clothes being too baggy. So for date night last night, my husband took me shopping for some new pants. I bought three pairs of size 16 jeans and capris!!!!! This is the first time in 13 years that I have not had to buy my clothes in the plus size section!!! What an amazing feeling! I always hated buying clothes for myself before nut I can tell already that I am gonna be a shopping FREAK!!!! lol!

Awesome. I can't wait to join you. I went to Old Navy yesterday and tried on a XXL top and it was TOO BIG. What an awesome feeling.

Congrats! And I hear you on the shopping. I have to constantly tell myself to SLOW down! Because you won't be in that new stuff for too long. And even though I've given away clothes . . . I still cant help it! lol

      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. 🤞
