You had to buy a ring snuggie for your wedding band/engagement ring because they fall off your finger.

I will get them resized once I am done losing weight!

you venture into the pool all summer and teach yourself how to swim because your confidence levels are to the roof

staying home ONE DAY gives you cabin fever because you rather be out and about burning all your energy

you daydream about getting a Brazilian butt lift

On another note: I see some eye candy on this thread... Name's a combination of letters & numbers..... Hello, boys!!

You go into the store wearing saggy size 14 jeans, you pull a 12 off the rack to try on and in the dressing room you realize you need a size 10! YES!!!! Last wore a size 10 in my early 20's.

Clothes from the Jr department fit better than the "regular" women's section
You can't shop even at the non-plus-size stores you used to because the clothes there are too big. #IKindaMissChicos
You can do your own pedicures
You're no longer camera shy
When someone calls you tiny lil' thing and you realize they mean YOU!
When you can spend 8 hours painting, doing house work yard work or whatever and actually be able to get up and work out the next day!
When you sit down on something hard and realize you're a little uncomfortable as you don't have the passing you once did back there!

      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.
