That is great! I recently accomplished that too and, like you, have to be careful not to buy too much. Congrats on your success so far! Keep up the good work.

I heart Kohl's. They have great sales! Congratulations. Yeah, don't buy too much because you will be another size or two down in no time. I am fortunate I have stuff in my closet from 16-22 that will last me for a bit.

Meg is right. Even now, I try to go easy on buying clothes. My surgeon says that I'm near goal, but I've lost the last 3-4 sizes in 20 pounds over the last 6 months. While the pounds aren't going down, my sizes go down quickly. I just bought size 16 jeans 2 weeks ago and I was SO excited to be able to wear them. I pulled them out of the dryer a few minutes ago and I can tell they aren't going to fit for much longer. They will be too big!!! :) I'm thinking that I'll have to buy the next size down within 2 weeks. They were only $20, but my jeans/work pants are getting loose so quickly these days that they might as well still have tags on them. I'd wait until they were truly falling off me, but I wear both to work in and must look somewhat decent daily.

Oh well, there's always Goodwill. :)

      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.
