Huge PRE-Vacation NSV!



Recommended Posts

Packing for vacation and usually I am a stress case because, being a short fat girl, it's almost impossible to walk into a store and find an outfit if you forget something, especially as our vacation home is in a small beach town with only one department store.

This go around, I know that I can walk into the stores and buy tops or PJs or a bathing suit or GASP!!! pants and not even be the biggest size in the store.

I AM SO EXCITED!

I can't WAIT to be able to buy vacation clothes whose whole purpose is to cover up every part of me, but still look like beach clothes.

Good for you!

Congrats your gonna love it. We recently just we took the girls to the beach a few weeks ago for the first time since b4 surgery and we had a great time and we weren't self conscious about being in bathing suits. (My wife had the sleeve a week after me)

I've always enjoyed my vacations with my family and have never felt self concious in my suit. (Maybe because I swim all the time and/or we don't know anyone there anyways?)

I'm just excited to know that I can now walk into a shop and buy something new and it will fit! Plus, I won't have to pay $3 extra for a XXL t-shirt at the tourist traps!

Good for you! I was always so uncomfortable wherever we went that I didn't truly enjoy myself. I put on a happy face, and had some fun but didn't enjoy it because of my issues I had with myself.

I completely understand walking into a store and seeing something you like and knowing it will fit. This is one of the best feelings in the world!

      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. 🤞
