This is so crazy...I have never been this thin. I am not feeling like a woman. My boobs are smaller, I though I had hips, but I don't and my butt is gone. I feel like before at least I had curves. I know I am healthier and never wanted to be as fat as I was, but this thin is something I just do not know how to take in. I can grab my pelvis bone...I see it right through my skin. My shoulder blades are also easy to see.

How much do you weigh now? Are you still in the "normal" range? Are you on the low side? Would it hurt to add 10 or 15 lbs? I agree with PEvette though, you should see someone about this. It can't hurt.

The smallest I ever was was a 14. I got up to a 20. I am an 8/10 depending on the clothes. I am 5'11". I am 178 on my scale, but my doctor's is 5 pounds less. And I bet 10 pounds is just skin. I probably will have to see someone. I am trying now to up my intake, but it is hard and I feel like I am over eating. So if I go by my doctor's scale I have really lost 118 pounds. I am in month 11. I could keep losing. 140 is still within normal range so you can see I am on the high side, but I feel so thin. I am at a normal BMI now. I just never saw my bones before. Do all really thin people see their pelvic bone?

Many do, it depends on the length of your torso and the width of your hips. Take a look at images of women in bikinis on the net. You will see how different thin figures can be.

      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. 🤞
