these are the coral colored pants that my friend AJ sent me last year..i have wrote about them before..when she sent them to me' date=' i could not get them up over my thigh...100% true and i do not own a scale and so i used these pants as a way for me to gauge how i was doing....little by little, i got them on...and then i was trying hard to get them buttoned.....and then my stomach apron kept me from that....but i kept ON.. day in and day out eating my allotted amount lean Proteins, veggies, fruit drinking ALOT and exercising first just walking (all i could do) and then i would go farther and farther and then start low impact step aerobics first without the step and then on the step and now its a daily thing...to work out after work i do not eat my din din until ole girl works out and here i am today....wearing those coral colored pants..(they come with a white belt but i did not include it as i wore a black shirt)..the pants are a size 16 reg/missy (label said)...and the sweater is size large so, 16 months ago, i was in a size 5x skirt, size 30 pant and well over 336+ pounds and this is me today..in those coral colored pants so this post is to say, i did it... thanks for the support[/quote']

You look amazing in those coral pants.....seeing you reach this milestone is great since you have often talked about getting into those capri's during the course of your weight loss.

I hope you know what a true inspiration you are to me...and many others....there is no phony baloney here...just the plain and basic facts of banded life. And ever since I've been on this site, I've followed a few people and you have been one of them and you are making such a difference to me.

I've been banded only 7 1/2 weeks and I keep your words in the back of my head...out for a walk tonight with the dog....was it cold in NY...yup...so on went the winter coat and out I went. It felt good and no one could make me do it but me!!!!

I think the best thing has been making better food choice and NEVER feeling deprived. I eat everything I want and am learning to pay attention to that "stop sign" you talked about. I don't always listen or get it just yet but I'm figuring it all out....and the results are there....

I feel better....physically and mentally. My clothes are loose...even big...and the scale (which I am NOT a slave to) is down...... 46 pounds ALREADY.

So a great big thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing YOUR CORAL CAPRIS....and thanks to AJ for sending them to you!

        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
