My jean callous is gone!



Recommended Posts

Ever get that rough patch on your index finger because zipping your jeans is too tough?

That's gone! I can take my jeans straight from the dryer and put them on with ease.

Goodbye rough patch - I don't miss you at all!

This is so funny. I am glad for you'all.

I have seen dents in the side of heavy people's heads where their glasses pinch in. I wonder how many people have lost those 2 dents in the sides of thier heads?

We have to laugh at our selves.

I had a fear of lawn chairs. Never trusted them. I would only sit on ground or my chair. I would get a lot of questions of concerns when sitting on ground. If the person just wouldn't let it go, I would tell them I fear that I will break it. It would embarrass them but shut them up.

I never got the callous - I wore the elastic waist. It kept me in a size 16 pants long after I should've been into a 20. It was my own way of denying how fat I really was.

That is to funny. I never thought about that one when thinking of nsv's but sure enough when I read this post I checked and mine is gone also.

I am loving the fact that not only do I not have the callous, but I can usually pull my jeans on and off without zipping or unzipping them.

The only pair that I can pull off w/out unzipping is hanging on my closet door, behind a pair of size 12 jeans that I want to be able to wear. I have them on the same hangar, and the size 24 jeans are so big they overhang the closet door!! - - Hm. Perhaps I should move them to the kitchen!

I used to have one of those too, but I have to confess it was back in college when I tried to stuff my size 8 body into size 6

Calvins. Now I'd be happy to be a size 12, which I used to consider big as a house -

I pull all my jeans on & off without zipping too. Hurrah for the trend that came in a couple years ago of stretchy jeans that aren't elastic.

        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
