I have no pants! (NSV)



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to share my nsv with everyone. I've lost more than 50 pounds since I started this journey its been slow going and kinda frustrating but I'm really seeing results in my body.

I started this process as a size 24 on the bottom inching towards a 26. Now I sit solidly in 18! Which means of shrunk out if every piece of bottom wardrobe I own lol.

...What a wonderful problem to have :-)

My biggest challenge now is to find the mythical size 18 Jean at thrift stores.

I would love to hear stories about others nsv, who else has shrunk out of their pants? ;)

Keep it up! I bet you'll shrink through many sizes on the way to your goal.

When i started, I was a tight 16. I had some size 31 jeans (12) put away, hoping that SOMEDAY I'd fit into them. Now it's 4.5 mos. after surgery, and those 12's are getting super loose! Buy yourself a good belt, girl. You'll need it! :)

I've been digging in plastic bins all afternoon, finding pants, shorts, tops that I can take to the beach next week for a conference. I've gone from a 22/24 to a 14/16 and had packed away many pieces that I can now wear. Sweet.

Sadly (but not quite), I'm also finding 22/24s that I never wore because I was so depressed, I didn't want to go outt and be seen by anyone. Will add them to the garage sale pile.

I also bought two new bathing suits today. Size 16 for one; size 14 for the other. Just enjoy the journey!

I realized this week that my 16W were falling off me to the point that I just can't wear them anymore. The big (first world) problem I have is finding the time to shop, between working 11 hour days and my commitment to exercise 5 hours a week. There just isn't time to shop! (I know - tough problem).

Size 18 is hard to find. Old Navy carries that size in the store. The Rockstar Jean is great and affordable. If you have a Macy's, Style & Co. and the Inc. brand both have size 18 in the misses section.

I was in 22 when I started. Fortunately I had jeans I never threw out as I grew, so I was good through 20 and 18. I had one pair of 16's that I wore for about two weeks at the end of my last diet before gaining back into 18's. I managed to find 1 other pair 16 at the thrift store. Those are now getting loose and I bought two pairs of 14's on eBay. Needless to say I do a lot of laundry!

And I just went through my closet and every pair of summer pants/capris/shorts I own now fall off me. So yeah, I'm almost pant-less, too.

I just took a break from cleaning my closet! Went from. 24/26 to 12/14. It was packed full of clothes thAt still had the tags on them. I tried to shop for some new clothes but The problem is that nothing really fits right. I guess things will even out eventually

Thanks so much. :)

Sounds like everyone is doing great! I find its both sad and fun to go through my clothes (I tend to get attached to my word robe lol) but I've had friends I let pick through the old stuff... she's waiting eagerly for me to get rid of some of my high end stuff ;)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
