I was a 44, now in a 38 and they are getting looser every week. I was in a 2 x shirt and some of them were tight and now I am in xl and they are getting loose too. I am a pack rat and had my clothes from when I was smaller packed away. It feels so good to see clothes I had not worn in 10-15 years and then putting them on and they feel great. I am down 68 lbs, sleeved 5-13.

From a 64 to a 48 in 6 months, can't wait till I can shop in a real clothing store again. Also a 2x down from a 6x shirt wise and on the last notch of my second belt in that time.

Was a 56 at my peak in 1999. Was a 48ish when I was cut. Down to a 38 easy and might be able to get into a 36 now at goal - 20.

Started at a 56 in May when I had the surgery this year and down to a 40 now after six months. Loss seems to be slowing down so may be at that size for a while. Jackets have gone from 3XL to L as well..

Just had my surgery on Wednesday (11/20/13) and wanted to know what would be good for my 'meals' while on the liquid phase of the post op diet.. any suggestions??? I know I need Water and Protein Shakes but what can I 'eat'?? And is it more important that I try to get in the water and protien shakes down instead of trying to eat?

Is it crazy that I literally had one small spoon full of Jello and felt like I just ate at a buffet...???

I've only lost about 35 pounds in 2 months but I'm down 3 pants size! I'm pleased with the smaller size. My doctor is thrilled . She said I'm losing far but gaining muscle.

Going from a 44 to 38 waist size sounds unbelievable and so fantastic. Congratulations. I have my surgery next month (Dec 14th) so I'm hoping that in the next few months I'll be receiving some of the perks you talk about. Focusing on the things I can DO was much more valuable than the things I CAN'T DO (YET!!!) once again congrats on your success.

      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. 🤞
