I had freaked out a couple of weeks ago when a pair of my size 14 jeans fit. They were tight but buttoned:). Two days ago they were falling off of me. I actually had to check the size because I thought I accidentally put on a pair of my old size 18. Nope they were the size 14:). A couple of months ago getting into those 14s seemed completely unattainable and now they are too big! Wow:). I love this!

How awesome for you!!! I can't wait to start losing again. Once we get my thyroid issue addressed, maybe I can begin moving forward (and downward) again as well.

Congratulations!!! You should post a new picture!

I was spring cleaning my daughter's room' date=' and I was happily astonished to find that I can crouch and reach and crawl and get back up as if I were 10 years younger! Hurrah![/quote']

I can fit with my son or daughter in the chair and I'm not squeezing them & there is room left. Before I took over the entire seat. On the sofa we can also both fit in one cushion not me taking over the entire half the sofa.

So I went back to the gym for the first time today since surgery. It felt so good... I don't know if I can type this out and explain it well but here goes. Before surgery there was this machine that you sit in and it works your thighs you spread out your thighs as much as you can and squeeze them back together. Well... When the trainer first had me do this machine I cried because I was so fat I could hardly fit I this machine nd to do the exercise I ha to actually sit in the chair and hold my stomach out of he way to get my legs to be able to squeeze together..., well the good news I sat my butt right in that machine today and doing the excessive when it hit me all of a sudden my stomach wasn't in the way I didn't have to hold it in with my hands I almost cried!!!!! Lol it was a good time hahaha

I always look at restaurant booths with fear and horror. I still find myself looking and judging quickly if I'm going to struggle or even be comfortable. Still my thought process! But I've noticed how comfortable I am and how easy I slide in and out and have room :)

Life's good

Surgery date 7/25/12

I see everyone talking about wanting to keep their boobs. I definitely want mine to shrink but I'm worried they will look like pancakes. I am a 42DDD right now...

I was a 44DDD, and wish they wouldn't leave so quickly! I really miss them and don't know how I'm feeling about going down to a C cup right now. A coworker just gave me a huge box of clothing and she said to get some sports bras for the transition, they're more comfortable. I don't have any regrets, I just wish I had more warning!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
