Non Scale Victories



Recommended Posts

I have just measured myself and using the measurements from before my surgery, I have lost 42 inches from my body, gobsmacked!

Unfortunately, 6 of those inches are from my boobs :57_cry:

Going on vacation in a couple of weeks so having to buy some new casual clothes.

I can't wait to have some vacation photos with me in them that I don't hate!IMG_8825.thumb.jpg.db03ba33bdb3f068751dbbf534d21f90.jpg

Now I just need my stupid tummy to go away, while keep my butt & boobs, or what's left of them!

That's their job! You wouldn't want to put blue jeans on the unemployment rolls, would you?

So the pants I bought a week before this two week trip were a smidge tight. This week I need a belt for one pair and the others aren’t far behind.

I also bought my first aspirational piece of clothing. It’s a good 2-3 sizes below where I’m at but I feel totally doable.

At least corsets gave you some boobs. Jeans just created muffin tops!

My scale numbers aren’t great but my NSV is pretty much all of the stamina I have now. I can take longer walks without being winded or tired. I no longer have knee or ankle pains. I just overall feel great

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
