You all are amazing' date=' I'm saving this thread to remember when I'm stalling or feeling down! I'm at a two week stall after losing twenty pounds since January 1st. That fear that I will just stay here forever is a big one, so it's very inspiring to see all of you so successful months after surgery![/quote']

I am stalled also and its discouraging but we will get through it!

I know!! I am so excited to go shopping Thursday for some new jeans and shirts!! The smallest I remember being is 13/14 in 12th grade. I am in 16's now and depending in the shirt medium-2x. I love big shirts so going to be hard to break that habit! But my 16's are baggy and I have to keep pulling them up

That was one of the hardest things for me to break too... even now. covering everything up with a big shirt. What helped me was having one of my kids take a pic of me in an outfit so I can visualize how it looks. Its weird but looks different in a pic versus a mirror. Smaller well fitting shirts just make you look smaller.

I started out 2X and 18 and I'm three months out in XL and 14. The top is always going to be a bit larger than the bottom thanks to my DD's which aren't shrinking all that much.

      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.
