I just wore a pair of shorts I haven worn since my honeymoon several years ago. Also, I was able to walk 3 miles the other day and ended up dragging my dog behind me by the end of it.

Silly, I know, but how about putting on a regular towel instead of a bath sheet when you get out of the shower! Sorry if TMI!

I went to put on my swimsuit yesterday so I could take my littles to the pool and it just about fell off. I'm so excited to go buy a new one!

How a out the seatbelt fits without cutting off my circulation, the discoloration of my legs due to poor circulation is fading and I can sit comfortably on our barstools now!

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me, I tucked under my other arm before I realized the towel was securely wrapped around me with no gaps. WOW! I don't remember the last time I was able to wrap a towel around me without a huge gap. I did a short Happy dance, and I got ready for work.

Had to buy new scrubs and pulled out the usual size to have the sales lady bring me a smaller size...and they worked! Feeling less humpy dumpty in my scrubs.

Tried on a one piece swim suit and surprisingly looked half way decent in it!

I have been wearing stretchy pants/shorts pretty much daily since surgery so I hadn't noticed much of a difference in my clothing until I came across a pair of size 18 shorts. The last size I was in was a 26. I tried them on and they fit perfectly!!! I thought they must've been stretched out or something so I found another pair and to my surprise they fit just as well. And these are not stretchy at all. They actually have a button and zipper!!! Yee Haw!! Feels pretty good.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
