My friend came to visit me early on in my 5 month stay at the hospital....She brought with her a bag of 3 shirts that she thought I would like to wear in the near future....2 things went through my muffled brain....first...that is not even nice...At my lowest I will never be that small....second...Wow she thinks I will get that small that I will be able to wear these tiny clothes someday....Remember I just got out of a coma so I was not thinking to straight...

My friend is small..She is a size 2...she brought me her clothes to wear in the future...I had been a tight size 6x up to this point....

Yesterday she asked me if I had ever tried on the clothes she brought to the hospital that day...I laughed and replied are you kidding it is going to take me a long time before I can wear those little shirts....She told me to go home and try them on....

This morning as a lark I took them out of the bag and had NO faith that they would even fit one arm let alone my size....Holy macaroni..

they fit...Even have a little room in them...

Could this person really be me.....Have I gotten to the size that I can wear some of my friends clothes....I am gob smacked!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOOOO! I love this a thousand times over!!! Girl, you need to carry your shrinking ass to the store and start trying on all kinds of things. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Nope..Not yet....Still downsizing and don't want to spend the big bucks until I am there and steady and convinced that I will be there the rest of my life......Then look out...Mu hubby's pocket book is so going to suffer.....hehehehehe!!!!!!!

So happy for you! Are you at goal already?

I saw some size 8 jeans in the store the other day. I can imagine fitting into 10s but I cannot imagine ever being an 8 :)

No....I am between a lg and XL in clothes...The clothes that she gave me were an XL...Everyone thinks I have hit wonderland though..but I have not weighed myself so I don't know if I am or not.....I really don't weigh myself much..I get frightened at the thought..lol

RJ'sBeginning, I have read your posts about the story of your sleeve, what you have been through. The fact that you are here and thriving is amazing and inspirational in itself.

So I am even happier to hear that you are seeing your weight loss so clearly now - wearing smaller clothes makes all of us feel good and you deserve it. As LipstickLady told GamerGirl, go out and try on a few clothes, feel good and get some practise in for spending your hubby's cash :-)))) I am so pleased for you...

Well, being married might not stop them if you are looking hot, lol!!! It is nice getting a bit of attention, as an old unmarried woman ;-)

      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
