I just read through every post in this thread over the past few days and it's made me laugh and tear up. Congratulations to all on their NSV, and for noticing and appreciating them!

Your posts have reinforced to me what a good decision this procedure and lifestyle change is. I've started a list of NSV goals inspired by all of yours!

I was cleaning out some drawers and found some khaki pants that my daughter had given me several years ago, back in my Weight Watcher days. Two pairs of size 16 and some size 14s. THEY FIT!!! ???? ????????

My friend rolls her eyes at me when I tell her oh my God I can cross my legs almost all the way around I can almost cross and tuck my foot behind my ankle. She says it's like every fat girls thing that they say after they lose weight. She wants me to take her to my doctor because she wants the surgery this year and I'm a little bit and ambivalent about the whole thing. It's all the ups and downs I don't want to see her having complications of being in pain. Maybe it's jealousy jealousy, I don't want her to have the surgery because I don't want her to feel pain. It's sweet but selfish.

I just tried the tucking the foot behind the ankle. I can do it too! Wow haven't done that since I was about 20. Lol.

NSVs

I like to take baths. It used to be that if I was in the tub, my fat would block the Water from going all the way to back. I would have to move so the Water could fill the whole tub! Now there is plenty of room. A belt that did not fit when I bought it now needs new holes drilled in it. I am going to keep using the belt because it is a very happy reminder of how much smaller I am.

Also, many people do not recognize me! What a riot!

My husband can pick me up! Actually hold me in his arms... I know he is strong, but it makes me feel like a lady. Makes me feel safe and feminine. I love it!

I now weigh less than the fake weight I put on my license years ago! Still somewhat scale related, but a big deal :)

I can now reach the clothes in the bottom, back of the washing machine tub. A big deal to me as I'm only five feet tall and used to have to get a step stool to get the last of the clothes out. I can reach them all!

I can now wear a size 12/14 dress and make everyone in a room stand at attention in aww. Doors open for me, I am treated with envy and respect. And now I am the one of the most beautiful ladies in the room and positive center of attention. And I must say I strut my 3 inch heels like the best of them while the haters just look.

Today, I wore a shirt to church that was bought in the regular ladies department, not the women's plus size department! The first time that has happened in decades! I felt amazing!

      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
