Recommended Posts

I am a size 24 and I'm okay with being plus sized, I just wanna look and feel healthy. I'm having rny in Aug, and I really don't wanna go smaller than a 16.

What is your ideal size?

I always felt best at a 8-10. Kept my curves and wouldn't want any lower.

I'm an 18 (or a 16 depending on where I shop) and I want to be at least an 8/10 so I can finally share clothes with my sister!

People tell me my mind will change later on but we shall see :)

It depends. I was happy with my plus size body but my knee was being affected & my stomach was in the way of sex.

I wasn't into exercise but I wasn't lazy. I took care of my chores kids cooking. But I hit a moment that I want to be healthy & decided I don't want to be fat.

A long time ago, I was a size 4, but I looked hollow and unhealthy...I think I will be happy with size 8, Im a 18 in some things and a 22/24 in others...i don't like things snug so I tend to go up a size to hide more of me.

No longer does an 18 feel comfortable. Stuffed sausage is more like it. That is what I mosey have thought and a few 20's.

I am really hoping to k ow what single digits looks and feels like. I could even live with the 8/10 any smaller would be dreamland!

I wouldn't mind being a 10/12 just as long as I'm healthy and able to have more children :)

Honestly I wouldn't mind being a size 12-14. I loved my body at that size

I'll like 6/8 but I'm not sure, I don't want to look sick. I will let my body decide, and i'll be happy whenever my body wants to stop lossing weight :)

      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. 🤞
