My chronically skinny friends wont get this and my overweight friends immediately mae "envy comments".... so I come here. I can buy normal clothes! I have NEVER bought clothes at costco despite it being my parents' favorite store, Today I bought 2 shirts there! Larges! Nd they're loose! I felt super excited. Had to share w/people who get it!

Totally get it! I bought a cute Green Tea sweatshirt from Sam's Club the other day - Large.

This summer I was in a "regular" size store and spotted a pair of shorts that looked cute. Size 14 - I took them to the fitting room and tried them on. I cried when I realized they fit. I haven't been a 14 in forever! I didn't bother looking at the price tag, I just bought them. I paid way too much for them, but who cares - that meant something to me!

Here's to you buying "normal" clothes and many more purchases to come! (I can now wear my sons t-shirts and sweatshirts! LOL)

Fit into a few of my mom's cast-offs...a 1x tee pre-op and some XL tanks post-op. Feeling kind of excited and hopeful about buying clothes again. Bought a few activewear tanks the other day...2x... But whatever. Yay!

I bought a pair of size 14 pants and wore them to work Thursday. A co-worker said "I almost got some pants just like that. You are shopping in normal sizes now. " I kinda went back to my office and cried. She knows I had surgery. I am happy but mad it has taken so long to get to this point.

Oh, yes, I get that! I love their yoga pants! Bought the XLs, then the Large, and now I think I could use a medium. It's so liberating! Keep on doing that happy dance - being thin never gets old!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
