You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

This is the first time in 12 yrs of marriage I weigh less than my hubby with 30 lbs to goal and encouraging him along the way.

When you can put your wedding ring back on! I have not worn my ring in many years cuz I was too heavy and refused to resize the ring. I was always going to lose weight! Well finally I have. Put it on for the first time today! Sooooooo happy.

Oh yeah me too!!! So glad to wear it again!!

When for the first time in your life you weight less than your husband. I am 7 lbs away from being smaller than him for the first time ever since we started dating.

you don't have to worry if you will fit in the seats at stadiums, or seats with sides

you can pull your legs up kind of normally to paint your toes

you can see your collarbone starting to form

you can see the definition of knuckles

you put on your winter coat you could not zip up just to see and not only can you zip it up but it will most likey be too big by then

you no longer have to buy 26/28 tops and are excited you can float between the junior plus and women's plus depending on the top because you are an 18/20 now

you have to twist the seat belt before latching it so it fits right instead of latching it, sitting down then pulling just he chest part in front because it doesn't fit

your co-workers tell you you're wasting away

and i will be so glad when i can say some of the other things people have said on here!

The loose skin under your arms makes slapping sounds against your sides.

All the double-takes when you walk past a window or mirror. I can barely believe it's me every time.

My knees and even calves not rubbing together anymore when I walk. Don't think I will ever have the "thigh gap" but not being able to hear the friction shuffle is enough for me.

You know you have lost weight when....you go to reach for a towel to dry your hands and your ring goes flying off! Tried to tell my husband it was time for a new bigger ring in a smaller size and he didn't go for it....stuck with resizing. :)

When the paper smock in your regular Doctor's office covers you. Sitting here in mine waiting for the doctor and not mortified by the gaps!

      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. 🤞
