Recommended Posts

I'm 2 months post OP and I've lost 43lbs but I'm so scared I'm not gonna hit my first goal. I started at a size 24 & I need to be a size 18 by sept 13th. Im in my brothers wedding and my bridesmaids dress is a 18. That's actually like a 16 in normal sizes. Im so scared im not gonna make it. I lost 4 inches in my hips but I need to lose 5 more in 6 weeks.

Sorry you've been put or put yourself into a deadline. Not that it won't happen but would think the stress of thinking about it would be tough. Just make sure you're following all your guidelines. Hope it all works out for you!

I'm almost 9 months out- I had 113 lbs to lose. I lost the first 50 in 2.5 months. I have lost the next 42 over the next 7 months. I'm still losing- it is just much slower. That being said- I've dropped clothing sizes pretty quickly!

I am 4 months PO and have lost 75 lbs. so far. I noticed that I starting stalling when I added in fruit and vegetables so I cut the amounts of those and try to stick to mainly Protein.

Did you actually try on the dress or just order it at an 18? Just curious. you said an 18 is more like a 16 in real clothes sizes. I think it's more like a 10! 18 mths ago, I got down to my lowest adult size (post lapband - before it slipped) which was 144. When I went in to get fitted for my wedding dress (an actual bridesmaid dress, not a white gown - heck, I'm 46! And 2nd wedding), they measured me. The top half measured a 16 and the bottom half measured a 4. And I was wearing a size 8/10 at the time.

Not sure why the bridal world has so much difference in sizing. needless to say, they had to tailor my dress alot. most of my weight is on top and I had to order a 16.

Just thought I'd check to see if you knew...

Haven't tried it on yet but have measurements for the size 18 & I'm not there. I still have like 4 inches to lose in my butt and hips. The top already needs taking in. I'm bigger on bottom.

Is it an aline? If so- you might get lucky :). And I will say the measurements never match! I just had to buy a formal dress for a black tie wedding. After looking online- my busy measurement puts me in a size 20, my waist at a 12 and my hips at a 16. However- I was in 10's solidly and even needed a 6 in one dress.

Its more empire waist. Tight and pulled around stomach, strapless top. Its a shorter dress not floor length.

You may get lucky :). Can you try on the dress in another size maybe like a 20 and see how it fits?

        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
