First Pair of 14 Jeans!!



Recommended Posts

This is my new reality. I have gone from a size 28 that was too tight, in just a short 5 months to a size 14. I bought them last yesterday and I love them. I am so proud of myself. Although I have seen little to no scale movement in the past month I have seen my size go down 2 pant sizes so things are a changing.

I am thrilled with my BAND and it is certainly my best friend. I still have no fill and will talk about this with my surgeon next month on the 13th when I see him for my 6 month check.

What a great feeling it is!!`

Congratulations on size 14 jeans!! You must look and feel amazing!!

I will be banded on May 1st. I am going to work hard until I get into size 14 myself!!

I just can't imaging myself being that small!! I do have photos of myself from when I was much smaller, so I will be posting them in a prominent place to keep me motivated.

keep up the good work!! You all inspire me!!!:biggrin::thumbup:

Kristen1031, I'll be banded at the end of this month and am a little nervous about all of the pain and the changes I'll be making. How has it been for you? Did it take you long to adjust to your new life with the band?

THAT'S MY GOAL TOO!!!! I am pretty much a size 16 now across the board but I am oh so close to squeezing in to my size 14 jeans!!! I figure another 10lbs and I'm there, hopefully to coincide with my trip back home to Australia in June!!

Congrats to all of you who have come so far. You are truly inspirational!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
