When you put on a nice pair of jammies and as you walk into the next room, the bottoms slide down your butt and land in a heap on the floor!

When there is a fire drill at work and you climb back UP the 4 flights of stairs with your coworkers instead of waiting for the elevator when its over. Without thinking about it. Like it's NORMAL to climb 4 flights of stairs. And your make it with little problem. Dream come true :)

Corollary... When you're on your way back from the bathroom and decide on the spur of the moment to do a lap around the stairs just to kick-start your metabolism! (My legs still burn every time, though.)

You and your 10-year-old kid can BOTH fit in your old sports coat.... and button it!

Your coat gets a little roomier every day.

The clothes you bought "snug" now fit. You've shrunk into a smaller size. That was always the plan but never happened in the past.

You pull out your winter boots and none of them fit! They are all to big I guess I will be buying new boots this week. ????

You don't mind listing your size on your Christmas wish list!

When your plate still has a heap of food on it and you can't take another bite.

When your clothing continually falls off your body.

When you had to wear a belt to keep up your dress work slacks that are now too big.

When you can actually walk by Ann Taylor Loft & know that very soon you'll be able to shop there and comfortably wear those clothes!

When you feel more and more of your ribcage when you lie down. Weird feeling.....by the way. Lol

When you pause at a clothing display and wonder, "What size am I now?" Knowing it's LESS than last time, not more!

When the day after Thanksgiving finds you stepping on the scale and DOWN a half pound, instead of up.

When you dare to wear colors that are beautiful and vibrant, not just the ones that hide fat.

When you know that a half slice of marvelous homemade bread isn't the diet apocalypse beginning, but simply a half slice of marvelous bread you've chosen to have...and of course no longer feel driven to chase it down with four more!

      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.
