I was a 44DDD' date=' 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![/quote']

Remember - cup size is a measure in relation to band size. If you go from a 44DDD to a 38 C, you may still "stick out" so to speak as much as you did before, just from a smaller torso. This may help: http://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-advice,328,30.html

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...' date=' 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

Here's a silly one, my ankles have stopped making the "popping" noise when I walk. That was seriously annoying/embarrassing!

Okay, I'm trying to stay positive even though my dumb thyroid issues brought my weight loss to a crashing halt last month. On the plus side, I've been gardening, and I have to keep reminding myself that I can crouch. There is no huge stomach in the way, and my legs feel good. That is, I don't lose circulation in my feet when I bend my knees, LOL! It's so nice!

I squat so much better!!! Never realized how much the extra padding in my legs interfered :). Cecilia, the bra web site was mind boggling!!! I'm going bra shopping tomorrow, curious to see what fits.

I should tell my mom how much everyone is appreciating the bra site. She's the one who turned me on to it. I started with just one page, and two hours later I had read the entire website. LOL!

      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.
