Instead of 'I've only lost 38 pounds' how bout 'I've lost 38 pounds!!!! Without starving myself and while feeling great.'

Today I pulled out a pair of regular 16 shorts, not 16W....I got them on...tight but on. Cool Beans. Tell me something awesome that happened to you today!!!!!

Well I didn't plan on going anywhere out of the house so I put on my baggy sweats and sweatshirt ended up having to take one of my grandkids to dr one of the nurses asked me if I was ok I said yes why she said cause I had lost so much weight didn't know if I was sick I told her no just eating wright and exercise ( there kind of nosy I didn't want to tell I had surgery then the dr asked me to) but the nurse said to get some smaller clothes then my daughter comes home from work and ask if I'm not going to get rid of my big clothes after I looked in the mirror didn't realize there were really that big till I saw my shirt was like 3 inches believe my thighs and swimming on my hips

I had been a little upset cause for 2 weeks hadn't lost any but I thought with all these meds and in hospital and IV fluids again that was why but still nothing this week but a least the 4 lbs I gain in hospital are gone again

It it the most wonderful feeling when you put on clothes and they are too big! I was always use to the opposite, putting on clothes and they were always too tight and on to the next size.

As someone wrote on here and it is soooooo ture "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" (I love this quote)

My parents sent me an outfit for Mother's Day. The pans were size 14. I was thinking, I'm getting there, but I'm not there yet. I tried them on and they fit!! A little snug, but not camel toe tight! I can wear them. Yeah!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
