I just don't have money to shop. I'm still with my big girl clothing. I bought a few things a few months ago. I'm not shopping till I'm 125 pounds.

Mostly all my pants/shorts/capris are way too big. I've given a lot away. Clearance racks and layaway are my best friends right now. Lol

Great idea but by the time I finish paying for it the size will be smaller LMFAO. I have the pants that are like gym style. Jogging pants I think it's called. They are my best friend.

Exactly. I buy sizes before i can actually wear it. Right now, I can wear clothes from an xl to an 18, depends on how it's made.

We have great resale shops here. You take the big clothes in to sell and trade for the smaller ones. Nice clothes for a fraction of the cost

All my clothes are too big. Had to buy some 16s this weekend. One pair was from the 'missy' section of Marshall's not the woman's. Felt great!!

Marshall's has all sizes. But of course the larger sizes don't have much of a variety. Smaller sizes the have a ton of varieties.

My plan is to shop at thrift stores until I reach my goal weight or my weight stabilizes. This way I won't have to pay full price on clothes.

surgery date: 7/30/12

What a great idea! Think I'll do the same. I still have some size 16's, but just a few. Mostly 1X & 2X. At one of the support grps I went to, a gal brought the clothes she had grown out of for anyone who wanted them - thought that was nice. Surgery date 9/5/12

Leggings are my BFFs right now. And today (drumroll please) I went into Fashion to Figure (a plus size store) and none of their smallest shirt fit right. I was only able to buy a pair of jeans from there. So I went into Forever21 (hated this store for a while, could never find anything that fit me) and viola! I was able to buy 6 shirt size L. From 2x (sometimes 3x) to a Large!!!!! Woo freaking Hoo!

      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. 🤞
