since surgery I haven't bought any new clothes I was wearing a size 26 jeans and 3x shirt my sister has been giving me some of her old clothes size 22 pants and 2x shirts but today my sister and I went to the mall which we've done a couple times since my surgery in March I would always refuse to try clothes on mostly due to I hate clothes shopping and I don't feel feminine wearing dresses or skirts I'm mostly jeans and t-shirt kinda woman but today since I'm now hundred and seventy seven pounds and I feel kinda good about myself I tried on some jeggings and a nice shirt I'm proud to say that I can fit a size 14 in jeggings and a tight large shirt I'm so excited I don't ever remember being the small and that's saying a lot considering I have about 25 pounds of fat around my stomach being apple shape is a b****. I'm going to stop at 140 or 145 and stay that way until next year where I can have my plastic surgery. My sister is about 11 pounds heavier than me and she wears it well we're I look like I weigh a lot more than her about 30 pounds more than her since I have this big stomach until I have the surgery I don't think I'm ever going to feel skinny.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
