Who'd thunk it? A negative NSV!

I was shopping for a new shirt and found a purple one I wanted bad!

It was the only purple shirt they had.

AND I WAS TOO THIN TO WEAR IT!!!!!! (Happy Dance.....kinda)

It happens to me constantly. Most of the time, when I select something to try on, it's too big. Even underwear is too big, lol. I am always searching for a smaller size.

I am still a ways off until I get to where you guys are at but there is one thing that has started to affect me in a negative way already.

For whatever reason, my feet have super deflated. I am guessing it is a combination of weight loss but mainly the fact that I no longer hork tons of salty foods which means there is no excessive bloating. Also the weight loss has given my knees, legs and feet some great relief which also means that they also don't bloat as before.

As a result, all my shoes are starting to feel loose and wide. I am obsessed with shoes and have put in A LOT of money into buying really nice shoes from all over the country and all over the world. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I will not be able to wear my shoes after a few months because they are really starting to loosen up. I also think that maybe I always used to buy shoes that were a size or two bigger than my foot length because my feet are wide due to the weight.

It happens to us ladies plenty. There are lots and lots of size 10 and 12's. Even 8's. But smaller than that become difficult. I wear a 6 in jeans and can be as small as a 2 or 4 in some dresses. Very hard to find those sizes.

      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.
