Hello my fellow sleevers,

I had my surgery on Mach 29th. I'm still getting used to all the changes but so far im very happy with my decision! This last week I had went to my nieces school concert and I was able to fit in the seat without getting stuck, it was a wonderful feeling. But what was even a greater accomplishment for me was when I put on my "only" pair of jeans that fit before my surgery (and even then they were so tight they looked like skinny jeans), are loose and keep falling off. I also fit into 7 more pair of jeans that I had hiding away! I just love clothes so I'm so excited to be able to fit into ones I've only been able to wear once and go shopping for new ones!

Thanks to all of you for your support, positivity, wisdom & humor in all your posts! It's helped me through a lot of my days. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Xoxo Ashley

Awwwwww Ashley

how wonderful is that? make sure you pull up those pants so they don't fall down.

they say finding clothes in your closed that now all of a sudden fit, is like going shopping in the closet - only diffference you don't have to pay.

congrats on the chair situation too.

keep up the good work

congrats

Congrats!! I know the feeling.. My only issue is that I've been the same size for 8-10 years.. so I don't have "small clothes"... I hate wearing the same things every week or two weeks.. Previously, I would recycle my wardrobe maybe once a month... Now... It's belts, dresses and skirts w/ cheap tops and cute jewelry...

I'm losing pounds slowly, but I'm losing inches quite rapidly! I'm glad I'm losing something!! LOL

Love this, it's so true! Better than shopping because you know its cute since you picked it out, lol.

Your style sounds so cute now! Love the belt & skirt sitch, I cant wait to wear belts! Yea, I have a good amount of clothes were im just "in-between" so they fit around the waist but baggie everywhere else, just not flattering, lol. Hey I'll take the inches off any day, the scale is my enemy so I rely on clothes to give me truth. You go girl, keep rockin that sleeve!

      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.
