So, AT 16MTHS POST OP, I have reached my original size goal... UK14! was this size when I got married ( but 14-18lb lighter!) 17 years ago And, I am really pleased to be here.

I still want the scale to say my goal too... and who knows, that might result in a smaller size clothes.

I am a UK 14 in trousers - gotta be careful with the cut/style; dresses; tops and jumpers; skirts and training clothes!

I have had a hard couple of weeks with the scale bouncing around so this really has cheered me up... here are my latest pics

Let me be frank... first you are looking fantastic and the new pants are cute. Second, I am SO jealous! You still have an a$$! Mine is more like two pancakes sliding down the wall. I would give back 5 pounds for a little more a$$. Your body looks great in those pants. Do you think the boxing helps the backsides? Cheers.

Once again... THANK YOU ALL! You all know, just where I am coming from... my nonsleeve friends, whilst being happy for me, just don't 'get it' like you do! It has taken me a while but it has been worth it. I wore the trousers today, and they felt great!! Working on those last 10lbs 'cos a goal thread fromt he Coopster would just be the best thing for me...

Hey Feedyoureye...

I have had many comments, all positive, about my booty... seems to be quite peachy these days...lol... and yea, I defo think boxing helps... all those squats has to do some good. I also run on the treadmill and walk my dog.. so good lower body toning! Do you do any exercise... I highly recommend boxing. Since I started in March, I've managed to shift about 14lbs... but gone down from a UK 18 to a Uk14! Has to be something in it?!

I have a lot of muscle now... I was thinking about posting a pic of my thighs and calf muscles...lol... my hubby said he would give anything to have legs as strong and toned as mine and he is a 6ft hairy arsed police officer - handsome too of course!! x

      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
