I went shopping at Lane Bryant today and I am down to a size 18 on the bottom and 14/16 on the top. I started at a size 24. My goal is 50 more lbs. Pretty soon I'll be shopping at a normal clothing store. I'll miss Lane Bryant though. I've been shopping there for years!

Nah, you won't miss LB, because you'll find so much more at so many places that you won't have to miss them.

Great NSV!!!!!!!

I definitely WON'T miss Lane Bryant! I loved their clothes but I hated having only one store to shop in. I can't wait for the day when I can go into J Crew or banana Republic and actually buy something.

Funny yet sad side note, I went into Lane Bryant a week ago to look for a bathing suit and the girl in there who knows me pretty well from shopping there all these years tries to pressure me to buy more things ("but we're having such a GREAT sale!"). I finally pull her aside and tell her that I don't want to buy anything because I was banded and wasn't sure what size I would be wearing. Well, she gave me the dirtiest look and said, and I quote, "well hurray for you" and walked away. Then I walked into Abercrombie to buy something for my son and the perky little teenage girl who works there came up to me with the best concerned face she could and said "I'm happy to help you but I don't think we carry your size". When I explained I was shopping for my son, she looked so relieved. I could have cracked her in half. So in one day, I got discriminated against for being too fat and too skinny. Crazy!

Cyndi, that sucks!

However, I gotta say, all those trust fund brats at Abecrombie are just horrible. I can't stand that store!

And Julie, that's great!

But I gotta say, you guys have got pretty good plus-size store, with layne bryant and torrid...the ones in canada are aweful

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
