Girl, buy yourself some pretty new clothes. What is wearing a man style t-shirt going to show you?

I'm new here, but girl!!! Huge difference! I thinks sometimes we look through our "fat" glasses when we look at ourselves. Lay the pics side by side. Start by looking at the new definition in the face, and neck area. Then scroll down the body. There is a huge difference even if the shirt is big! You rock on girl!!! I'm proud for you!

You must be kidding...in your after photo you can see your waist has gotten smaller, your face slimmer..

I understand how you feel though..I dropped two szs but can't seem to get it through the head..it takes times but we will get there...hang on in there :smile2:

I see a huge difference. I also have lost 52 lbs, and I know that I have went from a size 26-28 down to a 22-24. I don't really see it in pics, but I know I have lost because other people have noticed. I feel better, loo better too. Definately have more energy.

Cheryl Ann, the same thing happened to me .. about the 50 lbs mark ... but then I have to lose a total of 200 lbs ! so being big and tall .. it took a while for people to notice.. so I took photos every month.. and in those photos you can definately SEE the difference .. also.. take your measurements... you will see yourself losing many inches ... and you will be going down in dress sizes.. etc... it wont' be long and people will notice... and when they do.... you will feel even more invigorated to keep on track ... good luck !

agree about the clothes...might even be time to try styles that you didn't feel comfortable with before. I think once overweight we tend to stick to the styles that "hid' our weight before WL... in clothes and hair. I also have found that with loss...and even with gain...I always had to reevaluate my bra styles...I'd get used to buying grandma bras with little or no support and definitin...and a good underwire did wonders.

You look great. I bet people are not commenting out of ignorance. They may not be sure if you want the attention or not. I have found that either that is all people talk about or they tip toe around it.

I have to agree there is a huge difference! I can understand though. I have lost 35 pounds but because I have close to 200 pounds to lose it is not very noticable. I get discouraged but remember that eventually I will be smaller.

You look marvelous! I agree with the others, though, buy some new clothes that fit. I have lost 53lbs and gone from a 22 to an 18. All I have in my wardrobe now is 18. Wearing clothes that fit makes a huge difference in how you see yourself!

You are doing a brilliant job and have faith the rest will come off too!

I, too, love your TARDIS! Big DR WHO fan!

Good luck everyone!

      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.
