If it wasn't for the fact that I "poof" out at my stomach when I sit I would be quite comfortable with a 2xl shirt. I've lost 18 3/4" between my chest, stomach, waist, biceps, thighs and calfs. In my chest, stomach and waist I've lost 14 1/2"!

I'm back at work today and it sucks because after yesterday's experience getting into my work clothes is such a bummer! I'm wearing a 4x shirt and 40x27 pants. If I had real legs I'd be pushing 6' tall!

It appears that I spoke too soon! This is my 2xl work shirt and 36" pants. I'm also in the last notch of my belt. The blurs are because my company doesn't want anything on social media of any kind.

I dug up some old pictures. The first one I was 13 and in scouts. That damn pack weighed just over 100 pounds, I weighed 225.

The second one was probably the best shape that I was ever in, I was 19-20 at that point. I'm on the right up against the Toyota. My best friend Casey is sitting on the Dodge.

Absolutely brilliant - new jeans are looking good.

I've never worked out why guys seem to lose their backside ahead of almost everything else but that's the way it looks ;)

I never had a butt to begin with so I was quite surprised to lose there. Now I have a boney butt and with the rest of my gravity pushing down on what is left of my butt, it hurts!

A bony backside has to be the worst part of the whole weight loss thing I can sympathise with you on that one crunches at the gym kill my poor unpadded posterior ????

I fell hard two weeks ago while out with my granddaughter in the garden. Hard impact between my now very boney ass and the ground. Ouch!

And today, I was walking and realised that my sweats were literally falling down. Couldn't believe it.

Well done for getting some new jeans!

I just keep wearing too big clothes then realising that I really am that small.

Mind blowing! Congratulations!!!

@, I think you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Work clothes, especially uniforms, tend to run really small for my husband. Your street clothes are going to be a better NSV for you.

Also, I want to say that I always enjoy your posts. You have a great sense of humor and positive attitude. I know you are going to do great!

@

After laughing hysterically for some time at your "Sausage kicked my ass..." comment (I've had a hard day, lol), I strolled on over to check out your profile to find discussions about roid rage, dropping your pants and being butt-less.

Seems you are the butt of quite a few jokes.

Thank you for brightening my day and many congrats on the new jeans and work attire. Awesome job. :D :rolleyes:

Ps. I hope that witch hazel did the job coz roids are a pain in the... (been there, had surgery, worse than childbirth, lol)

      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
