I used to dread shopping, I still hold some of that go back for a bigger six fear. But soon I'll have no choice as everything I have is falling off... Lol

My eyes popped when I found a large was sliding off! I'm two months out and down 60 lbs! I know this sounds silly, but I can't get over how tiny my wrists have gotten! Funny part is, I know my ex husband is kicking himself now. I just hope I can enjoy shopping once again. Too many years of hating it. And I always grab things way too big. It's like when you cut your hair, and take a shower. You always end up with Shampoo sliding down your face because you're used to having long hair. It's all a huge adjustment. And as for swimwear, I think I could be 110 and still scared out of my mind to try doing that again. Sad thing is, I'm a huge fan of swimming as I used to be a lifeguard and an even bigger fan of rollerblading. I'm bouncing back with no extra skin, but old fears and mindsets are going to take a long time to fix.

I'm 3days out now. But before the surgery' date=' I bought a few pieces that looked great and I had to have. Lol. Since I work at a clothing store part time, I won't be spending a lot.[/quote']

How are you feeling? I am (as I type this) sitting in the waiting room waiting to be called back for my EGD. I am getting nervous about the post op pain of when it comes time for the actual surgery and recoop time. Any comments?

I know what you mean! I am only 2 1/2 months out from surgery and am down 57 lbs. I figured now that I'm 5 sizes smaller I'll love to shop too. But for some reason I keep going to the larger sizes not believing I can fit into the smaller sizes. So I know for sure that it's going to take me some time to adjust.

Way to go on your loss! Hopefully our brains will catch up with our bodies soon!

Response to Landensmommy10

Despite 3 calls to my insurance company asking for the requirements for WLS, they still did not give me the correct answer. So after meeting with the insurance coordinator Wed, I was smart to start the 6 month pcp diet 2 months ago, and actually had my 3rd weigh in on Thur, so thats a bonus. Since Dr is in Pittsburgh and I am in Erie (2.5 hour drive) Dr said its ok to have my Pulm, Card, sleep testing and bloodwork done in Erie. I called to make those appointments and they require (not my insurance) me to get referrals from my Dr. Called surgeons office back, they told me the referral has to come from my PCP, now what sense does that make? GRRRR, but I called PCP and they will make the appointments for me, thank goodness. So all is going great. Looking like Nov/Dec-ish for the surgery, which I think is perfect. I have only told the mother in law and 1 BFF, so everyone else will get the "It's my new years diet" story. LOL

      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
