Okay so I was in need of some retail therapy today. I was in a size 26 plus size in May 2013 . So I picked up a size 20 because I didn't see an 18. The only other size was a 16 and I was like should I? Well I did and it got perfect! I almost had a fit! So I will be in a size 14. Unbelievable!!!

After years of taking blood pressure meds, I am no longer on anything. My pressure was extremely low after the hip replacement surgery last month and while it did climb, it's totally normal now without any medical assistance. Will see what my pressure is when I go to the doctor next month but am hoping I am done having to take anything for my pressure. Oh, and my sugar/cholesterol is perfectly normal as well. medication.

Jim you look AMAZING!!!!

Btw, it looks like you need new pants to go with your new belt. They're too big for your newly svelte body! :D

Awww...thank you. I am actually wearing 42's in this pic and they are baggy. I only have one other pair of jeans a size 40 and they were in the laundry. I am waiting a while before I buy more. These are barely two months old.

Funny thing about the belt. That is my original belt that barely fit to be buckled when I started. It is such a great NSV seeing how it wraps around me.

      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.
