Realizing that knee high boots do/will fit me this fall and receiving multiple compliments on my size M dress. My dad pointed out when I kept getting them that no one ever commented on my clothes pre op.

I'm a teacher and for the past 2 years I couldn't cross my legs under the lunch table. I did it the other day without even realizing it for a minute...but when I did realize it I wanted to stand up and shout it to my class!'

I got a notification from paperback swap that one of the diet books on my wish list was available. Guess I don't need that now!!

I can so relate to this! Only after surgery did I realize how much of my time was previously spent in learning about the best diets.

I guess I now spend that time on VST instead :)

I went shopping this weekend and decided to see what the Loft has available. I have never been able to buy anything in that store because they only go up to a size 16.

Well guess what? I finally fit into their clothes. I bought a dress for work (size Large) and a sweater jacket ( size Large). Yahoo!!!!

At my doctor's appointment this morning, a normal size blood pressure cuff fit around my upper arm! Yippee!

My thrilling NSV (which demonstrates how lame I am!) is using the dryer. I hadn't ever used it for fear that my clothes would shrink.

That is funny. I still hang all of my clothes up besides jeans and slacks.

Buying a pair of size 12 jeans and a large dress from old navy. I use to be a 22. Also I started the couch to 5k program and today I completed week 4. I tried a new spot for running and most of it was uphill and I did it! Felt amazing afterwards!!!!! I am 8 weeks out and down 44.5 pounds.

I went jogging yesterday for the first time in awhile and I suprised myself at how much my stamina has increased since losing weight. I was able to push myself and go longer than before!

I was doing my laundry last night and noticed 2 things:

1. All of my exercise clothes were sweaty which is why I was doing laundry in the middle of the week

2. I looked in the basket and thought, "whose clothes are these?" They seemed so small, so not my clothes! But they were my clothes, and I can really wear them!

This is a bit silly, but I realized that I now go into a normal sized bathroom stall without turning sideways or fighting to get the door closed.

      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
