I bought my current belt from Springfield Leather Company. It is heavy duty, very well made, and not expensive - unless, of course, you compare it to bonded leather belts costing $15.00 or so. As I mentioned above, my belt carries several articles on a daily basis that require a strong and well made belt. You can get one for about $50 or so.

My forearms are sort of like Popeye's, at least for strength. A lot of that comes from the work I do.

Is this uh.... do it yourself kind of work? wink wink

(You are making this really easy on me.)

I can see you are a very bad person. ;) I am usually the one who has to tell people they are setting me up too easily. Here is an example of the work I do. I built the chest, not the musical instruments.

I thought I had big wrists.

172 pounds later I have small dainty little wrists.

I never thought I had small wrists because my wrists never seemed fat or very meaty. When you lose a massive amount or weight it comes from everywhere, even the unexpected places. I didn't have fat meaty feet either, but I am down 2 shoe sizes and no longer wear wides.

When your BMI gets under 35, you can really see what you frame is more like.

@@LittleBill **It is possible. I looked at the Charge 2 and the Surge. Finding the XL band is like trying to find a unicorn. And for the Surge, they want a premium of almost $40 for the XL band over the large. I will do some more looking tonight.**

I'm pretty sure the XL Charge 2 is only available online. Good luck!

What's that instrument that looks like a hollow violin? So pretty!!

Thank you. I am not sure what it is, but I can ask. They belong to my niece.

Okay, I called for reinforcements. Mrs. LittleBill thinks I am crazy, but she agreed to take a picture for me. This is my wrist with all the spare skin pinched and pulled as tight as I can. There is no room underneath. They have been this way since I was 185 lbs on the wrestling team in high school, and starving myself to make weight.

Tactical style belt, heavy objects... I get the funny feeling that we both have a similar style belt for similar reasons!

I'm guessing that if you recognize the language, there's a very good chance you're part of the culture. ????

        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.

      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
