Make it happen! Go to a party, out to dinner or to a show (and I don't mean movie), go to a wine tasting, or see a local band perform anywhere fun! In our town locals are always performing in coffee shops and community centers. There's even a berry farm that sponsors free concerts each week on their property. :-) Buy that dress!

Yesterday I bought a 3x Miraclesuit pantygirdle (ughh! That sounds awful) Brcause someone said her doctor told her if you wear tight fitting clothes your skin will not droop so much, will shrink in the right place - also since i am down 35 pounds since i started the "journey" i have discovered at least 8 pairs of size 24 jeans in my closets. Up and down for 30 years will do that? So goodwill is gonna have a big windfall of fat clothes this year . My surgical date is sept 3, 2013. An inch at a time.

Not a doctor, but I wouldn't bet the farm on tight fitting clothing keeping your skin from sagging....however it can't hurt and I'm sure would smooth out the lumps and bumps I have from my loss!

I've noticed the more I loose, the more the lumps and bumps go away as well !

Absolutely agree!!! The 30-40 Pound loss me was funky funky with stuff sticking out in the strangest places....though saggy, the last 10 pounds have definitely helped smooth things out and make a world of difference how I look in clothing!

My doctor told me to use a girdle. That it helped keep things tight. Doesn't prevent the loose skin. But helps the body preserve whatever elasticity it has left

About 6 years ago I bought 3 pairs of pants. They are all the same except color. They were way to small once I got them home and I was too embarrassed to take them back. Well good golly today they FIT!!!!!!!!! Sooo excited. It's not a huge size jump but it is a different size!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

        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.

      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
