Thank you for your kind comments. I have been at goal for awhile, but i "re-share" pics from time to time because when I was that 300+ pound woman I never imagined in my wildest dreams I could look normal, much less be considered attractive. I used to think my eyes were just so ugly - turns out they were just hidden by all the fat!

Looks are not the core of who we are but somehow looking normal has made me feel like a more complete human being. Like others are more at ease around me. I am no longer invisible or even worse stared at out of shock.

I hope that my pictures give others hope that they too can transform. It is a different journey for each of us, and we don't all share the same goals, but the amazing is possible and this thread is FULL of wonderful examples. I am so proud of all of us!!!!!

I wear a medium top - pretty universal although sometimes they are too baggy. I have a few med button up tops that I wish had a little more room across the bust. Pants sizing are ridiculously variable though. I mostly own 8s but they are mostly getting too baggy now. I have a few 6s, but they are very form fitting skinny jeans..haha. I went to White House Black Market and wore their 2s and 4s which is just crazy. So, don't believe in sizes anymore due to the crazy vanity sizing stuff.

I think it is about proportion. I measure "about" 40-30-38 although for some reason my waist measure is sometimes more like 30.5 or 31" as i still get some post plastics swelling especially after intense exercise. My top measurement is so large mostly because I have a big frame, you know just a wide back, shoulders and ribcage - i am only a C cup so not outrageously big in "that" way.

Anyway, I encourage people to not get too wrapped up in a number - whether it is the scale or a size... but rather to pay attention to your health, how you feel, how you look. I have been fine tuning where I want to be since hitting goal a year ago. I keep working out, well, really, I just keep trying to work that sleeve.

How long did it take you to get to goal weight? You look amazing! Hope to have the same results. 4 days since surgery. :)

      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.
