Jaime...

I was wanting 10 to be my size too. I am shocked that I am in a 6-8 and there are some brands that I could probably wear a 4. It is crazy, but in the best way!!!

Well, I think I was a hottie back when I was 19. I was 175lbs (at 5'8) and wearing a size 12 from NY&Co and I felt like such a beauty. So that's really my goal - to get back down to 175. If I can get lower than that, fabulous. But I'm not really expecting it.

I haven't worn a size 10 since 6th grade!!!!! :)

I am with you in the bra department Mini... the only ones that I have found that fit me for "in between" is the Gillian O'Malley ones at Target. I really like them, espicallly for the price. $16 or so...

Oh! I'll have to try those! Thanks for the suggestion.

I would be very happy with a 10 or 12 too. I haven't worn anything smaller than that since I had rheumatic fever at age 20 and dropped 40 lbs. The "serious illness" diet works really well, but I mainly just looked sickly.

Thank you Kind Weight Loss Challenge Moderator-Girl~

Well, after solemn deliberation, I have decided to allow you this exception. You may now kiss my ring.

So, can I be excused from weigh-in until....December 30th? :)

I don't usually hate, but let me tell you, I've got some serious hatred for my scale right now.

I haven't been in a 14 since high school. I think maybe my freshman year. I can't imagine a 12 but I think I want to shoot for a 10. My mom has worn a 10 for as long as I remember and I want to be able to wear that. I can't really explain it. I can't fathom being able to wear those sizes! Really! I just can't!

Oh by the way I am 2 pounds away from the 40# mark. I can't believe it. Just 2 months ago I weighed 285.5 before I started pre-op!:tt1:

So ladies, all you professional Bandsters out there - what do you do when you have a bad cold/flu and need medication? When you go to the doctor, they are inevitably going to give you pills for your ailment. How do you approach that? Is there a liquid-form to what they'll give you for a flu? I've had this flu for 3 weeks this Thursday, and this morning my throat is on fire. I can't remember in all my 26 years my throat ever hurting this much. Add to that the stuffy head, sinus headache, and constant sneezing - I'm miserable. I can hardly talk - my throat is that bad.

I've told myself I'll finally go to a doctor tomorrow if my throat still feels this bad, but I'm worried I'll pay all that money to see the doctor (my insurance isn't that great) only to find that there's nothing he can prescribe me that isn't in pill form. Any opinions ladies?

Wow, way to go!!! You're obviously doing something right. What am I doing wrong??? I wanna be a success already, daggonit.

Patience is not a virtue I was blessed with. :tt1:

Sorry your not feeling any better:crying:. There are a lot of medications you can get in liquid. Just let them know your situation. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

      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.
