Weighed in at 396. Found myself wearing jeans after 3 years using sweats. my wife is making fun because it looks like cats and dogs fighting in the back of my pants, because its so empty with space. lol. she's telling to buy some new clothes, but im so cheap, i actually still have the clothes from when i was 22. i just turned 39. SMH. yeah. i have clothes that are still 17 years old. but im still super happy im getting down so quickly.

And I am now a 20 going into an 18 soon,224 pounds after 8 months, I have not been This Small since I delivered Tomkitten, my son, and he will be 40 on June 12th, I actually have dress slacks that fall off my body, I am No LONGER in the largest size at Wal-Mart and other stores, and the smaller I get the more plentiful the selection of styles. And I have revenge on my Late Husband, who I call the Late Lamented or Dear Departed on here, he preferred me in subsided colors or black/navy blue, guess he thought my weight would. look less obvious, well I now have 2 pair of size 20 floral print dress slacks, a pair of pale orange sherbet and seafoam green and spectators tell me I have lost weight and they look fine. After years of Sir MixALot and Baby Got Back this chich is merely rounded and flattening nicely. My looks have changed facially,i have gone from round chubby to lean, angular and high cheekbones, don't know what relative I will end up looking like but I sure don't Look like ME! But It Is All Good, and I rather enjoy it all.

@cristobal

you are doing soooooo great!!

as far as being Mr. Cheap!!😉 - check out thrift shops et al, not too expensive

as you loose weight, you NEED/must buy new clothes - otherwise they will fall

off you!! Sight for sore eyes🤣. (never know when/where the clothes police are lurking)!!

Be happy that you need new clothes, shows that you are getting smaller and smaller

We will be seeing less and less of you by your 40th b'day - great present!!

keep up the great job while your weight goes down

continued good luck

kathy

congrats

Hey, I know the feeling! All of my clothes now hang off me like sacks, and I have worn out the one pair of leggings that I had until holes came in the crotch area of them, LOL. I finally broke down and bought a couple new pairs of leggings, but I don't really intend to buy much else until I've lost even more weight.

I will just have to deal with the clothes being two to three sizes too big or more. [emoji14]

      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.
