Im at the jiggly belly stage. You?



Recommended Posts

My PA who had RNY 6 years ago, said that her skin today looks much better than it did even 3 years ago. So there's hope. And in the meantime, I created this to remind myself to be happy. for-every-woman-unhappy.png

My wife took a pic of me yesterday. I had on a shirt that I could not wear for many years. It was tucked in and I had on a pair of jeans that were too big for me. I was a 50 before surgery and I wear a 40 now and the pants were 42's. So my belly looks even worse. I think I need to leave the shirt tail out for awhile until I hope the jiggly belly subsides.

You'll get there I'm sure. My husband is now able to tuck his shirt in first thing in the morning--and it stays that way all day. He can't stop marveling at that.

Jiggly barely describes it. I have lost 70 pounds, am down several sizes. I can't really see the difference and feel fatter than before the surgery. My jello-ness and excess skin is daunting. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done and I regret not doing it sooner, but I wonder how long it will take to feel freer of the fat. I still am 30 or so pounds from goal .

That was a huge one for me too. I don't know if women get this....but I never felt good about tucking in my shirt. I thought I looked awful....plus of course when I sat down everything expanded and the shirt would pull out. Now I wanna tuck in my shirt everyday. Whether I should or not.

      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. 🤞
