When you have to buy new jeans 3 weeks after you bought the last pair because they are literally sliding down your hips and that's the only pair you own that remotely fit. And you go in the dressing room and realize you accidentally picked up a pair 2 sizes smaller but they're the ones that fit.

I went from a size 14 to 10 and now 6 in about 6 weeks. I'm going to run out of credit on my Macy's card soon! lol

When spending all day in the Thrift Shop becomes an addiction because you always need smaller sizes.

Yes Pik. Even better when those clothes go into the donate pile because they are too big! Great feeling.

Your cell phone keeps making your shorts fall down!

I've been reading all of these NSV's to my hubby since the thread started. This weekend I just started laughing when this happened to me. We both had a good laugh together!!

I can finally wear heals for long periods of time and be able to walk around in the city and not get tired and look sexy.

I can actually make my foods last longer than ever after the surgery.

I am able to cross my legs cause my thighs are becoming thinner. I couldn't even cross my legs before.

I can't wait to wear heels regularly again! Yay!

The bathing suit shorts that just fit you a few months ago were falling off in the pool yesterday.

I wore a bathing suit and didn't feel huge around other people.

That day is one I hope for <3... that I feel comfortable around people at the beach, not that your bathing suit falls off hahahahahahaha

Oh my gosh Snowblue - I can totally relate! In fact, I'll add this - when you reach the shortest hook on your bra, and you realize that just almost never happens! Time for a new bra too.

      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.

      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.
