I am getting married July 30. We didn't have a long engagment, so as soon as I got engaged I went and bought a wedding dress, size 14. Back then I thought that was pretty good because wedding dresses run very small, and at that point I was a size 14/16 in clothes.... so I figured I'd lose some weight, possibly have to take it in, but it'd be fine.

Well, I was having wedding dress remorse (it was "blush" aka pink) and decided to pop into a small dress shop on my way home from work. The woman asked me what size I am and I told her probably a 12 or 14 depending on the style. She looked at me and said "Are you sure? You don't look like a 12/14". So I just let her grab a bunch of dresses for my to try on.

I FIT IN A SIZE 8!!!!!!!!!! Granted it was a corset back and pretty snug, but OMG. I walked out of that shop with the BIGGEST smile. And a problem.... I was trying to find a cheap dress to replace my pink one.

Well, I went to the shop where I got the pink dress and explained my situation to the saleswoman who was SO nice. She let me do an even exchange and the dress fits me so I don't have to pay for many alterations! Never in a million years did I think I would be wearing a size 8, mermaid style dress (I had always gone for a-line bigger stuff that flatters big hips!).

Here is a pic in my original size 8 inspiration dress.... although it is gorgeous I couldn't afford it :( But I got something similar :)

      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.
