You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

When you realize you've been sitting with your legs crossed for some time before you realize you didn't use to be able to do that.

When the skinny Asian girls at the nail salon are teasing you about how tiny you are and squeezing your tiny waist in their tiny hands!

When you try on a shirt from the little girls section at target and it fits.

Ha. Yeah. I'm really petite.

You know you lost weight when.....

Your husband laughs when you discover various new bones you had no idea you had. You the feel compelled to make him feel them.

When your pants no longer fit you and you have to rummage through the closet looking for old jeans so that you have something to wear that day and say to yourself that you have to go shopping on the weekend for clothes. Also when your hubby hugs you so tight all night long and won't let you leave the bed in the morning. Lol. I guess I'm not used to that attention. But it's a nice feeling.

Your undies start drooping in the rear like a baby in desperate need of a diaper change!

My daughter hasn't seen me in a few months. She reaches over to put a hand on my leg, then stops and says, with hand on my leg, "what's this?"

"A muscle." Silence.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
