My daughter took 3 pairs of jeans from me this weekend..that only gave me a couple pairs of pants left...I begged my hubby to take me to the store to get some smaller jeans so that I would be prepared for the next size down...He did...I bought all 14-16 pants...

Today for fun I put one of the pair of 16 brown cords on and they FIT....with no compression garment either...I hardly ever wear them at home....Lets see...gone from a 6 X to a 15-16...hmmmm.....okay I'mm totally stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! That's gotta feel good!

I'm on the verge of not having any jeans that fit...in a good way for a change! No larger sizes for this gal!

On another note, are you feeling better? I hope all is well.

I have jeans in the closet but refuse to check for another two weeks since I was significantly smaller when the fit. THat is the one piece of clothing that I can't wait to buy! A nice pair of size 10...maybe even an 8 Silver brand name jeans with all the bling on the bum! LOL! Enjoy your much smaller cords! Great job!

RJ, I am so glad to hear that you may have licked the pneumonia. I like that your docs are being extra careful with you (as they should). And a size 16! That's great.

I made it to a size 18 today, so keep on keeping on! I'm right behind you.

Thank you cabingirl, the sizes are changing so fast now it is scaring me a little...You will probably pass me kid...I am a tall woman and big boned.....but if I stopped now I would be smaller then I have been in 35 years...What a load off eh...hehehehe

RJ you've come such a long way with much success. Congrats. Now don't make the mistake made. I hadn't worn a size 16 in 20 years and was thrilled. I got lazy and stopped losing weight. Went into a maintenance mode of eating. Did a great job not gaining any weight for a year. Now I am in year 3 and I want to lose more and its much much harder. So enjoy those 16s u deserve your atta a girl. But keep pushing while the pushing is good. I wish someone had told me that two years ago.

Oh thank you for your advice....I know that I am not there yet and plan..oh I really plan to get there..I so want to know just how small I am going to end up being...Maybe I will be so small that I will disappear into the sunset....Here's hoping....lol

I appreciate the vets point of view very much...Your a doll for sharing.... :)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
