when you are planning to go semi-topless at the nude beach you've been going to for three years.

Okay, I'll bite... What the heck is semi-topless? Only one side is exposed? :blink:

... When by the time you get your new pants back from the tailor after being hemmed, they are already too loose around the waist.

Noooooooooo!!! NEVER Abercrombie & Fitch!!! Don't wear/buy it. Everrrrr!!!

I agree! Because fat people aren't pretty enough to wear their clothes. Once I lose my weight, I still won't go there!

..your port is obviously visible because your tummy isn't huge and hiding it anymore. I find myself touching it all the time almost like it's a talisman that I rub it for luck. It didn't even become noticeable till I lost nearly 70 lbs. and now it sticks out like the alien in the movie. No one sees it but me at the moment but I've started to date so we'll see how that goes...lol.

Love these! So I'll go again....got my sassy short haircut, yippee! And now, you know you've had WLS when you take those teeny tiny jars of preserves from hotel breakfasts so you can fill them with chopped almonds and walnuts to keep in your purse. You're obsessed with Protein. You're happy with yourself. Oh, this is from today.......you wake up at 2am and just get up to get work done (freelancer) and you work 16 hours to get totally, incredibly on top of everything. Like month of. September is set and we are not even ther yet! Where is this energy coming from? It is incredible! I don't have to work the rest of the week! Guess I'll exercise. You know you've had WLS when your found time is about moving your body........

So I LOVED your post about the sassy new haircut, as i've been plotting the same thing for myself this month - would really love to see a picture of the new do, Bandista!

Lmaooooo!! Not exactly, although many times my boobs would float to the side when a wave hit. LoL.

I went semi-topless in the sense that I had NO top on but I had a crochet dress which was kinda see through.

When every restaurant meal results in leftovers for the next meal

When my dog starts following me around as I will now bend over or get down on floor for a pet, rub belly season

When you can go into any store and wear anything you want.

When the sales clerk brings you a smaller size because she thinks what you picked (a medium) is a size too big!

When it's fun to travel because you don't have to worry about fitting into small airline seats.

When you don't even order off the menu, but eat from your family's plate

When you can go incognito in the town you have lived in your entire life because people just don't recognize you.

I got another one yesterday!

You know you've had WLS when you are buying an extra school band shirt and they say sorry the smallest size is a Large. I thought they knew I was buying for my daughter who is a S but they thought I was buying for myself as a supportive band parent!

You used to have a hard time finding nice clothes that were big enough and now you have plenty of selection because you can shop anywhere. Yahoo!

You actually want to send out one of those cutesy Christmas postcards where everyone's wearing red sweaters with big smiles...

      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.
