Size 12 Came And Went So Fast!



Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled that I was in size 12's for maybe a month. The only downside to this downsize is that I found an amazing Eddie Bauer dress at Goodwill Select for only $6.99. As if what I paid for it wasn't enough for me to love it, I have to say that I've never looked better in anything I've ever worn before. When I look at myself in the mirror, I am in awe at how good I look wearing this dress and it's really hard knowing that we'll soon have to part. It's already too big for me, but I am hoping to get at least one more wear out of it. It would take a master seamstress to alter this for me, there are so many different cuts and darts...I'd hate for someone to mess it up.

A beautiful dress -- what a wonderful thing to be able to wear fun clothes that you love. Enjoy your new size, though -- it will be fun scoping out those size tens. You are an inspiration! Thanks for posting. I look forward to having a pretty dress or two next summer. That will be wonderful!

The hardest part is finding a perfect outfit then saying goodbye so soon after, luckily if you bargain hunt you can find similar clothes. But hey what girl doesnt like to shop in the womens section. I used to get stares when i would have to wonder in the plus section.

      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. 🤞

      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.
