I have a conference this morning out of town for work which means COMFY clothes. However I'm looking around my room appalled because I don't really have any that fit comfy :-(

Countdown to insurance approval. Prayers please..... Xxxx

I hope your approval will go quickly, so you will never have to face this awful dilemma again:) just keep positive and focus on the fact that soon you will begin to fit in everything and most of your current clothes will need to be replaced with stylin smaller clothes.

Yep, it especially sucks when that favorite piece is just too damn tight to wear again.

Soon it will be different, soon it will be "jeez - this used to fit, now it just hangs off me".

Thanks everyone- I felt so unprofessional today too- I love dressing up- its a perk of my job but I refuse to buy bigger clothes so lately I feel like crap. Blech. Thanks again :).

Justine, i am so with you. I have granny panties look like sails, mom jeans, oversized shirts. I wear maxi dresses and I look like I am wearing hawaiin mumus. I have 2 pair of 18 talbots kakis (talbots runs really big, BTW) and stretchy shirts I wear to work almost everyday, because nothing else fits right. I cant remember last time I dressed up.

Justine the 13th is almost here! Hang in there my friend. I can dress down at work and I look like a bum. When I was a 22W I gave all my dress clothes away when I got to down to a 16-18. Now I am like a 20-22W and have no dress clothes to wear. I told myself I am not redoing my whole wardrobe again with 22w...I have nice suits and dresses and I can't wait to get into them. In the mean time I am lucky that I can dress down or else I would be up sh*ts creek. Plus there is no where to shop in Colombia that sells plus size clothes except for "Gorditas con Estilo." My English to Spanish translation is "Fatty's with Style." I laugh everytime I walk past that store. Fat people don't have a chance in Latin America!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
