Went to go exchange some jeans today...size 8's for a size 4! Never thought I'd be that size! 18 to 4 in 9 months!

Just picked up some new clothes bc we are going to the Caribbean in a few days and I can't wear any of my old summer stuff! I got my shorts/shirts in a 1x! Down from 3 and 4xs! I also got a new swimsuit and went from a 32w to a 22w! My pants have gone from 30/32w to a 22w and could probably wear an 18! I'm flabbergasted! :-)

Isn't it great? Have a wonderful trip! Enjoy!

My rings keep slipping off! And I can wear an 18 inch chain/necklace without it looking like I'm trying to strangle myself.

I'm afraid I'll lose my wedding ring. It keeps wanting to slip off my finger. I may need to have it sized soon. :-)

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

Could you use a ring guard?

That's a good idea. I was thinking when I resize my wedding ring I could still wear the eternity ring behind it like I always do. Since the diamonds go all the way around it doesn't matter that it turns.

If not, like someone else suggested I will put it on a chain.

What is a ring guard?

What is a ring guard?

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

You've got to be the only person I have ever heard who put a positive spin on shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice-chunky wet snow! Lol

I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
