I actually like clothes shopping now and feel like I look like a girl.

OMG. I'm starting to spend serious money on clothes... It's so fun to shop! I had no idea how good it would feel to look in the mirror and think "dang that looks good!" with EVERYTHING I try on!

I shopped at a store in the mall called Vanity. I haven't been able to shop at a regular store in years and not only that but I wasn't in the largest size in that store. I'm fitting into "regular" clothes. I came home and weighed myself for the first time in like a month and I am down 20 lbs since the last weigh in and a grand total of 100 lbs today!!! Can't believe it! I'm so excited.

Congratulations!!!!!

Those tiny bathroom stalls where you can tell they made it undersized to accommodate a handicapped stall next to it? I can walk right in and don't end up with my thigh touching the maxi pad waste basket!

I ordered a pair of size 14 petite jeans (not womans but straight petite) from jjill. When I opened the package and held them up I thought they would never fit because they looked tiny. I tried them on and lo and behold they fit perfectly!!.

Holly, have you noticed your weight loss slowing down at all, I'm 4 months out and it's seems to have slowed to a snails pace. Did you go through a stall or anything around this time? I had my surgery with dr Streeter.

I have a charity walk today. I'm sure it'll be no problem. If anything prevents me from finishing it won't be my stamina - it'll be my back. I've been stacking firewood for winter and my back is punishing me for the abuse. I'm looking forward to the walk, though. I'm going with four coworkers whose company I enjoy. It should be fun! :-)

      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.
