I Finally Wear "normal Sized" Clothes!



Recommended Posts

I've been a size 22 since I was 18...and just this weekend I wore my first pair of size 14 jeans! What an incredible feeling! I shopped at Express and the size large was too big...I've been buying shirts from the "skinny girl" stores too. It's so strange....sometimes I look in the mirror and I see the same person but clearly I'm not. Even my feet are smaller - I don't wear wide width anymore and I can actually wear heels without my feet hurting. I just had to share my excitement!! I'm only 12 lbs from hitting the 100's!!!

Congrats Miss Castro ... it's such a good feeling the first time you get back into a smaller size you haven't seen in years.

I was a 22 and now I'm a 16/18. I have pictures on my frig of me the last time I wore a size 6.

Woo hoo!! Go for it!!

Absolutely! Keep going! I had an old friend tell me "you are so tiny!"....lol tiny? no. But at a size 16ish it is smaller than I have been in over a decade.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
