Being out of plus size is a big one for me. I am very close now and I can't wait to be able to shop for pants in any department in any store!

3) having a normal size bath towel wrap all the way around me

Even though the normal sized bath towel wraps around me, I still like using my beach towels from my heavier days because now they REALLY wrap around me!

yes, yes, and YES!!!! every single one of these!!!! not to mention

(4) no more raw thighs that rub together when wearing dresses/skirts in the heat that Texas enjoys for 10months out of the year.

(5) not wondering how WIDE my butt looks when I'm doing squats or incline leg curls.

(6) knowing I will be able to keep up with my (future) kiddos. heck, knowing I'll be more fertile to HAVE those future babies :)

Being able to wear tall boots, because my calves aren't too big.

Thanks for posting this! I have been thinking about the future NSVs I am looking forward to as well! (I am also pretty excited to be getting closer to them!)

I also can't wait to be able to wear clothes that are not plus size! I also look forward to:

-buying tall boots in a style that isn't determined by the ones that fit over my calves

-sitting at at attached chair/desk comfortably (and not freaking out when I go to a workshop that has them about whether I am going to fit)

-sitting in a seat at the movies/in an auditorium without "spillover" into the seat next to me

-sitting comfortably in a restaurant booth, even when the table is bolted down

I am already seeing some of these, and I'm sure that there will be more that I haven't even considered a possibility as I get closer to goal!

      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.
