I would be quite happy with a size 6.

6-10 because I like curves!

A size 10 would be ideal... I'd be happy as a 12 though.

A 10 is what I've always wanted.

Size 10-12 feels just right for me. Nice staying the same size as clothes fit as long as I choose to wear them

Yes I saved one giant pair of stretchy size 22. Just to never forget from whence I came????

I'm a 10-12 right now, but would love to be an 8. I look trim at a size 8. Plus I'm pushing 50, so I want to be realistic! :P

I was a size 24 pant and 2x shirt. 2 weeks after surgery and I'm in a 1x shirt and 18 pant. I would love to get down to a 7/9 or med. I'm 5'3 so my goal weight is 120. We will see though.

It's do-able. I was a 24 pant and a 4X top at my heaviest, and now I wear a size 6P pant, size PS or PM top..and in better dresses, mostly 10P. I've no idea what size dress I would have worn at my heaviest...I stopped wearing dresses at size 20.

At 5'8", my initial goal was a size 12. I started at a size 22. I have been at my goal weight for over a year and a size 10/M. Totally happy where I'm at and love my wardrobe!!

I have a lot of size 8s from before I got pregnant. I'm hoping to get back to these clothes, even though they are probably out of style by now! Size 8 is where I want to be.

Lol. What year did you get pregnant? Sizing has changed so much over the years! I discovered a few boxes of clothes in my attic of clothes from high school and clothes before I had kids (circa 1980's and 90's). I'm wearing a modern size 8. I can squeeze in some size 6 clothes. I cannot squeeze in many of the size 12 pants I have from high school!!!! Modern sizes now include 00 and 0 so everything seems to have gone up. Darn variety sizing! I also think the cut of things is to blame. Things were all high waisted in the 80's and 90's! My waist isn't as small as it once was before kids!

Hoping to loose 17 more pounds by my 1 year anniversary. I am 10 months post opp

      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
