@@moppet I did (and do) work out regularly, but early on I just started with walking and then super low-impact aerobics. Working out is great for your health and important in maintenance but remember that what is most critical is your diet. You know what they say -- and it's all true -- the battle to lose weight is won in the kitchen, not in the gym. Follow your eating plan religiously, track everything, and stay away from crappy, high carb, nutrition-free foods and you will do great.

I had to chime in because I'm so excited!

I started as a 20W; surgery day I was 18W. When I went shopping this weekend, I bought a size 8! Most of my things are 10, and the 8's are still a little tight, but *happy dance*! I'm buying single digits! It's unreal.

Yes. I started at a size 15 in jeans. I am now a size 4. I got real emotional in the fitting room. I stood there for about 20 minutes saying I can't believe that I am the size I was when I was in high school. It's a great feeling.

Started at a TIGHT 18w should probably have been a 20.

I said when I started I would be THRILLED to make single digit sizes.

I am now a 4!

Started at a 20W and after three months, I'm in a 14 misses. In tops, I went from a 2X to a L/XL. I hope to go down at least two more sizes by September but one size is probably more realistic.

Goodwill has received 8 huge bags of clothes from me and my closet is empty. I only buy things on sale now since I know I won't wear them for long

Started at a tight 22W, I'm a week shy of 6 months out and I'm in a comfortable 12-14 depending on brand and large tops. I would like to get down to a 10 but my weight loss has been super slow the last 2 months so it might be a while.

I was up to a 52x32 pant size.. right now at 36-40x32 and they vary on tightness/looseness.

i had went nuts shopping in the US for clothes, in PA where it was tax-free for those, with the 36-40s, but my weight gain happened so fast I literally outgrew them in a matter of weeks and was unable to wear them. I kept them around for several years until my weight plummeted back down to now and can wear them comfortably. They still look brand new.

      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
