Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Ok so my hubby asked me out last night and as I was trying clothing on we both realised its time. YUp its time to go buy clothing cause everything falls off or my shirts r too droopy.

The scared part is. I'm scared of going to the store and fiting jeans the same size I'm wearing. Yup super scared of that. Hubby laughed and said obviously u aren't the same size if these r falling off.

But me I'm scared to even try on a smaller size. Has my brain not cought on to my body?

It takes awhile for the brain to catch up with the body. Don't let the fear hold you back......Go try some pants on, you have a giant surprise coming to you...... :)

Yup. I'm in a loose 12 and still think I'm in a 20/22.

I am having the same issue..I keep looking at clothes that are way to big for me and expecting them to fit.....My Hubby is the one that shakes his head and says no that won't fit you......I have dropped several sizes and when I look at a blouse I am wearing now I can't believe how small it is...and even though I am wearing it ...every time I go to put it on...I say inside my head that this is way to small...We are so used to the bigger sizes and our brains are still on that track.....enjoy the shopping but don't buy to much as you will be out of those in no time flat!!!!!

I was thinking of living in leggings and yoga pants too until I'm closer to goal so I don't have to invest in pants every couple of weeks. I'm a stay at home mom so it's not like I have to worry about work clothes!

I went to a consignment shop at first because you will be dropping sizes very often, so don't go and buy expensive jeans. Also my shorts are sweatpants material because you can tie it tighter when needed! I went from a size 14-6 within 6 months. Good luck and enjoy shopping you will be surprised!

My pants almost fell off in the hall at work last week, yet I'm still too scared to try on any of the smaller sizes in my closet. haha

This happens for us guys too. My family was making fun of me yesterday because even with a belt, I was having to pull my pants up all day.

I just got into a 20 but I don't know how long I have in them since the scale is really moving right now. I don't want to buy clothes for 2 weeks LOL So I have about 2 options or just really old shorts for now.

      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
