Your tights are sagging?! Yup! Never thought my tights would get loose on me, but there's extra loose fabric right under my butt and belly. The best part is, they didn't fit before surgery and they're a 1x!

I can relate to so so many of these. One of my favorites is, "oh my God, who knew you had such a long neck!?" LOL

When I can get out of my car and step between the car and the garage wall (a small space for two cars) and don't get my clothes dirty from squeezing against the car!

You can wear a pair of jeans with a designer's name label over the back pocket rather than labels that say "Pass" and "Don't Pass" over the back pockets.

I know a lot of these are repeats, but mine are:

Realizing my driver's license weight is actually higher than my real weight now.

Running upstairs and not gasping for breath.

Having to buy all new bras and panties because I'm swimming in them.

Feeling ribs, collarbones and hipbones.

Running into my husband's ex-wife, who used to taunt me about my weight, and seeing her eyes get really big. I'm thinner than she is now. That has to be the best one!! LOL

When the jeans you haven't worn in about a year fit perfect again, and you are actually wearing jeans ( I started wearing leggings after my size 16 jeans no longer fit, and I refused to buy clothes until I lost weight)

You grab your typical XXL or XL shirt and then end up buying a plain old L size shirt at Old Navy! Let the shopping begin! Watch out Mediums, I'm coming for you next!

      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
