where are you losing it?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys! I Have lost a total of 47 lbs since the start of my pre-op diet in June. My pants that I was squeezing into 47 lbs heavier I can still wear, but, they are lose in my legs, butt, hips, upper body has lost, but, my waist is pretty much the same, my pants are still kinda tight in my waist! I hope I start losing there soon so I can go down sized!!!! I am a pear shape body, so I carry mosy of my weight in my belly, hips, butt ad legs. I never took measurements, maybe I should have. How are you doing!?

So far, I have lost a couple inches everywhere, such as in the arms, thighs, waist, hips, and breasts (sigh). I am a quintessential pear shape also. I can't wait to lose a little more in the hips so I can fit into my smaller jeans.

Well, you could always start taking measurements now. :)

I've lost 40 lbs and also still wearing my old pants. They are basically looser all over. I did take measurements and I'm losing equally all over for a total of 20 inches so far (7 wks). I bought a new bra yesterday and have gone from a 40 band to a 36. If I were you I'd start measuring now.

Losing top to bottom...Pear shaped too. So I'm gonna have a tiny head yippie. It's never too late to start taking your measurements... so you won't have the starting point (I don't either...had lost 30# b 4 I started) But it is still nice to see the progress.. especially during a stall.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
