First day back at work. Man does it suck. What doesn't suck is my pants being about two sizes too big and my belt being on the last hole and being too big!!

Hang in there, before you know it your work day will be over. When I first went back to work I had to take a nap once I got home.

As the old saying goes, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" {I know, I hated it too, never having been "skinny" in my life!} Just wait, soon you'll remove your pants without unbuttoning them! I had to laugh at your heading, Miserable but happy.... I'm energetic, yet exhausted. (Huh??? But it's so true!)

The worst part is when you have to buy new clothes...you become torn about spending the money, or even what size to get, since you'll grow out of the new stuff too, but it becomes a necessity when you have nothing to wear! Another ying/yang! :) Good luck!

You are so right! I am two sizes down and three if I want them to just fit. I'm debating the skip a size concept. I have decided to get two pairs of slacks in the next size and make them work until I'm the next size down from that one. I now shop in misses for the first time in 15 years.

I almost got to the point that I dreaded my boss saying "I think you need new pants again" :D

Every day getting dresses I'm like, "do I want to look like a ragamuffin (clothes 3 sizes too big) or have muffin-top (clothe too tight, next size down)!" problems, problems....

Shrink out you mean. I feel I grew out of more clothes than anything during my life. Now it is time for me to shrink out of them.

Congrats in your success.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
