I know you all will understand

So u just have to post this because I know you will all understand. I am in desperate need of clothes for work that are not falling off me. I went to Goodwill because I can't justify spending lots of money on clothes that I will only wear for a month or so if best. I went and really didn't know what size I needed. I grabbed a couple sizes and went to the dressing room. Long story short. I fit in a 22! I was so elated! I went from a size 30 pants only 3 months ago, to a 22! And actually, I'd say a 20 in a few weeks. The 22 were not tight at all. Sorry, I just had to share because I know you will all understand! I can't remember a time that I had to go down a size, and not go up...

LOL I had to finally break down and buy new scrubs.. cuz of the comments.. those look like your older sisters hand me downs they were so big..and those look like a dress on you..and when are you going to buy some new scrubs.. those are falling off.. so I broke down..and was so shocked at the size I had to buy.. I still bought a size bigger.. cuz I wasnt believing what I was seeing. Im like I dont wear a large.. no way im bigger than that.. turns out im not. I hold up the clothes and im like those look small for me.. but omg they fit.. weird mind games lol... best of luck to you :)

Congrats how wonderful for you. I totally understand, I'm only 5 weeks out, but I've lost 31 lbs, and everything looks baggy on me, I'm having a hard time keeping some of my pants up. however, I refuse to buy new clothes just yet, I can sew and plan on taking some of them in,

I hear you. I tried to hold off on buying new clothes for as long as possible. I was able to camouflage my baggy clothes for a few months. But when I did buy some, I couldn't believe how many sizes I lost. I didn't buy much because doc sad I'd come down another 2 or 3 sizes in another 3 months a the rate i' losing. Unbelievable!!!!

      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. 🤞
