It's an amazing feeling to be in the best shape of your life. I never thought I would have this fitness level in my 40's. I'm so thankful for my sleeve.

I'm wearing low rise jeans. I just don't have the curvy hips to fill out other jeans.

Yeah, low rise is my choice, too. If they're anything else, they look like jodhpurs. LOL

Well, I am the inverted triangle though I much prefer the athletic spin. I too wear the low rise, with a belt. All pants have a way of shimmying down. My gfriend told me once she was gonna LAUGH if my pants fell off in public. I have an 8-9 " difference from waist to hips bit my waist is WAY up there so it doesn't help with jeans fitting.

I'm not sure. I think I'm a rectangle? Maybe an hourglass? I don't think my waist is that curvy but maybe that's because I have narrow hips. I have a little girls body now.

If the question was "What body type did you have BEFORE your weight loss?", I would have said,"that of an athlete", And by that, I meant that of a Sumo wrestler. :)

I used to be my father's lil half-back then I was a full-back. I was always the biggest kid in the family. For twenty years, as a firefighter, I always had broad shoulders, big arms, thick legs and calves. They served me well doing the hard stuff. I could never buy a regular blazer or button down shirt, jeans were torture and forget boots. I learned to sew because I couldn't find things that fit me well. Now it's my belly that's still giving me trouble when shopping. But I will take it versus the sixty pounds!

So what shape do you see?

My dad's nickname for me was "barrel" Nice huh? Anyway, I was your classic apple pre op... now I am a freaking warrior princess - that title seems to be missing from the chart. :)

      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.
