When you volunteer to take the seat next to a large person at the theater – because you know how uncomfortable they feel, and at your new size you can squeeze over to give them some extra space.

You're a good person. Mad respect.

Today is my 39th birthday. My cousin bought me clothes as present. She asked me to try on a tunic. I look at the tag and see a size L regular. I thank her and follow it with "I'm sorry I won't fit this".She responds with "just try it".Not only did it fit but I'm swimming in it. My head has not caught up with my weightloss.

Happy B'day to yoouu!!

Thanks

You don't dread going to the Dr (actually look forward to hearing about your results) and don't worry have to look for the lightest clothes in your closet so you can shave a few ounces off ????

The restaurateurs call up to cancel their vacation plans after you walk past their businesses on your power walk.

ohh boy Do I ever know this issue. I have never had issues with being cold. Now I am freezing my butt off. I use to wear shorts and tank tops in the snow without issue. Now I am brrrr all the time.. Can't wait for summer... Maybe I won't struggle with the heat anymore that would be nice!! :) I think it's time to actually buy real winter clothes isntead of the few pieces of winter clothing I have... ( that are too big of course) LOL

When you can borrow clothes from your mother who is one of the smallest people you know (and you haven't fit in her clothes since you were like 10!!!!!!)

When your husband feels around your queen size bed to see if your still there because your not pushing up against him all night long

When you go out in public and catch someone looking and for the first time in your life your first thought isnt "please stop judging me, I know Im fat" but rather "yup, I know, Im rocking this outfit!!!!"

And when you have to get a new belt because the big one can wrap around you almost twice!

I hate wasting money on belts ;-), but I'm glad they keep getting smaller.

You can wear huge over sized hoop earrings and they don't touch your shoulder anymore because your collar bone is visible now.

You can do up a pair of high heels with a side ankle buckle without completely losing it and shouting to anyone who is within hearing range that shoe designers are s**t!!!!! Anything to take the blame away from the mound of useless flab that is getting in the way and scuppering the whole operation! Yay!!!!!!!

      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.
