Lol I will have to see what else I can find online. #Winning 🎖️🏆 Try wearing it across your chest it seemed weird at first for me but now I wear it everywhere like that. It’s really nice when you have to use a public restroom and you don’t have to put it down anywhere if they don’t have a hook. Ooh and the running belts would be a great idea. I got one for walking and they are flat so they may feel better even if they aren’t totally snug fit because they aren’t pulling down with the weight that’s sitting out from your body like a fanny pack. I got mine on Amazon for cheap and it is awesome.

summerseeker 2,254 Posted November 24, 2024 Today is 3 years since my surgery. I wept a little this morning, I am still the skinny woman I always wanted to be. Every morning when I wake, I feel my tummy and Greyhound ribs to make sure it wasnt a dream. I will always be grateful to my team who took on a disabled, fat old woman and gave me this chance. I may have paid for it and put the work in but they gave me this tool. 4 2 2 ShoppGirl, Justarwaxx, Hiddenroses and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mspretty86 360 Posted November 24, 2024 @summerseeker that is a Beautiful WIN 🏆😊. I chuckled a bit at the "grey hound" ribs comment. I feel you 100%...I walk around daily thankful for science. If it was not for medical science we would not have this awesome tool. #winning 2 ShoppGirl and summerseeker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmberFL 920 Posted November 24, 2024 Went Jean shopping yesterday and my biggest struggle was everything looked good and with my size I had so many options. Then went to VS and was picking out size small panties and they are sexy. TMI but I wore a sexy piece for the mister and I felt really sexy in my skin. It was the best freaking feeling! Attached are the very first pair of pants I bought after WLS because my 20s were way too baggy. I don’t always do amazing with my choices in food- a struggle we all will forever be a struggle for me, but damn! I did this work, I put in work at the gym, I meal prep every damn week, and I track. I am humble bragging that I am proud of myself! 7 3 Lilia_90, ShoppGirl, Hiddenroses and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveToBypass2023 2,677 Posted November 26, 2024 Well, my win is that I'm surviving doing my overnight shifts at work, doing school (I started my IV certification class and my QMAP class during the day), and picking up an extra overnight shift here and there when possible. OMG I'm so tired lol But I'm so so happy with the fact that I'm in a size 8/10 Medium now. I started off in a 26/28 and sometimes a 30 (5x). I keep my jacket in a size Large because I like them a little bigger. And that absolutely BLOWS MY MIND that a size large is a little big on me lol My husband was looking for me in the store, and he said he saw me come around the corner and it took him looking past me and then back at me twice before he realized it was me because he said I look so thin that he just totally didn't recognize me LOL 4 2 1 BlondePatriotInCDA, Hiddenroses, ShoppGirl and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mspretty86 360 Posted November 27, 2024 (edited) I don't know if any of you experienced this WIN but my WIN is actually looking small in photos. Photos are tricky, I still hate taking pictures, I am soooooo not photogenic. Recently we took pics for my mother's birthday and I was like damn girl you look small. Photos can make you look large ALL the TIME, but I guess I've finally crossed over to the lighter side.

Hellojaqs 9 Posted November 30, 2024 Changing my mind set and seeing **** for what it is today is my win. Knowing tomorrow is a new day and that there are 150 days until my birthday and now its time to set some goals. Actual goals, write them down type goals. 2 1 Chatterboxdea, summerseeker and Mspretty86 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
