New to this thread, hi beautiful people! This is my outfit for heading out to walk my dog and run some errands. 7966759C-91DA-492E-930B-E351674A1806.thumb.jpeg.8bd81655c2e229bd04ce243b94390821.jpegNever in a million years would I have worn a crop top in public before now! Also strategically posing to hide my arms heh heh heh

I feel that clothes sizing struggle so much... I feel like I buy a new pair of pants or shorts and then by the time I get the chance to wear them they’re already loose. I’m bleeding $$!

Ok, workout gear (only to go out, I wear a super big tank that hangs like a tunic). LOL. And yes, my leggings need to be downsized to mediums. I think they would hold my flab in more. These are XL. (Tummy still pouchy from surgery 2 weeks ago.)

Ok. Its time for an intervention.

You really need to realize/internalize/bask-in-the-awesome-ness that you are NOT big anymore and do not need to wear the larger sizes. Your leggings are way too big for you...you aren't supposed to see wrinkled fabric gathers at your knees, nor have gapes at the ankle opening! You can skip the medium and go straight to small lady, maybe even extra-small.

Your boobs in that sports bra, however, are fabulous.

Ok! LOL. I'm trying really hard to get it. :) TY for your comments, they are all really helping me reframe my stinkin thinkin brain and SOOOO sorry to take over this thread. I am gonna go work on it and quit posting so much here. Swearsies!!! And I can't take much credit. It all goes to the PS on the foobs. He did a great job on my 3 reconstructions from BC. Double mast, they stay that size regardless of weight gain or loss. But they do look pretty bodacious in a smaller body than they did at 287lbs. That's for sure! :D (maybe one of the only perks of it. LOL!! hahahaha)

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
