I met a friend for lunch who I hadn't seen in a year. I walked past him 3 times and he didn't recognized me.

When you go to Six Flags and ride the roller coasters with your teenage kids instead of waiting on a bench.

Same here, although I'm not skinny yet. I've been shopping in my closet until just recently, now everything is too loose. I bought new undies at La Senza the other day, and realized that it was an NSV at checkout. 🤗

When the weather takes a quick turn towards fall and you realize you need a whole new winter wardrobe and head down to TJ Maxx to grab some sweaters real quick and end up buying smalls. I've never been a small anything...

When you go to the doctor and no longer shed everything you can before you get on the scale. And they don't have to push the scale all the way to 300 and count back

When you have to find new ways to position your legs while sleeping because when they are together you can now feel the bones in your knees so it's uncomfortable

When someone looks at your ID card and says that it is not you

Oh that happened to me when I got pulled over for speeding. He looked at my license and said, "That is not you!" I just laughed. He had me show him before and after photos just to prove my identity. Then he asked me a whole bunch of questions. By the time we were done, he forgot to give me a ticket for speeding and had taken down my number 😎. I was a smooth operator!

P.S he is really cute and I have a date this Friday!!

Same! I was a size 20/2X last fall/winter prior to my surgery and was down to an 18 by spring.

Now I'm a size 12/14 and a S/M. Time for all new clothing, which is starting to get expensive. Downside to having all 4 seasons, I need different wardrobes

      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.
