1. To say that I hit onderland this week!

2. That my hubby can wrap his arms around me and actually overlap his hands!

3. That for the first time in my adult life I could walk into Victoria secret and buy a bra!!! ( it's awesome btw!)

4. I can cross my legs while sitting like a lady. :)

5. I can actually wrap the towel around me when I get out of the shower lol

There are sooo many more but I thought this would be an amazing thread for the pre sleevers to read to help motivate them!! Help me out and add some more:)

That's great. I'm looking forward to the VS bra. That's probably one of my great milestones

It is definitely in my top ten milestones! I've been wearing big 'ol lane Bryant bras for almost my whole life! And the bra is worth the money!!!

It's amazing that...

1. I have lost 4 lbs while in maintenance.

2. I can get up off of the floor without using my hands.

3. My hubby can pick me up with ease during sex.

4. I only ate 5 pieces of my son's Halloween candy.< /p>

5. I don't NEED to eat junk and crap just because its there.

I feel liberated!!

Thats so wonderful and for someone who's nervous and has surgery in 2 days (11/15) it's very inspiring and gives me hope that one day I will be able to do all those wonderful things again!!

Thanks for another list of reasons to stay focused! I also want to achieve many of the items on your list! I have never had a matching bra and panties, my hubby will definitely enjoy that as much as I will! :lol:

      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.
