I Shopped The Other Side!



Recommended Posts

It was so nice to go to Dress Barn and shop the other side. I need a long sweat her for a snug but sexy size 12 Ann Taylor skirt!!! Shopping out of the plus side and knowing I am free from it for life and never have to diet again is the best feeling

Just a week and a half I am loving my sleeve! I let me have frozen yogurt that I love and it was a 1/4 of what I normally ate. Plus it wasn't covered in Gummy bears Reese's pieces and coconut!! I learned to change.

I know, isn't completely bypassing the "fat" section and heading directly towards the "normal" section great!

I am soooo looking forward to this NSV!!!! I've already started a Pinterest board with all types of clothing I hope to wear someday!!! LOL

Congrats on your success!

that's a great NSV.....I'm looking forward to shopping when I get to the size I want - but until then I'll go to the consignment shop and get clothes as my body transforms.....I need pants now, but will wait till I drop one more size.

      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.
