I squeezed into a size 10....



Recommended Posts

Major NSV moment. Ladies I've been a 22 - 24 for the past 18 years, thanks to GOD and the lapband I made it all the way down to a 14 (or so I thought). Hubby and I were out doing some Christmas shopping and I saw some fierce suede pants on the clearance rack for $9.99 (WOW) size 10, I passed them over, hubby said why don't you try them on, I didn't think I had a chance.....

Ladies...they fit, lovely. I was in shock. I went home and actually had to study myself in the mirror. It had been so long since I had actually saw ME. I loved what I saw and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

I can truly say If I can do it anybody can. For those of you who don't know my story.....

I was banded 3/04, yep, 4 years ago. I went for 1 fill didn't get restriction, somehow thought, once again something that just didn't work for me. I got caught up in life, went back to school, moved to NC, etc...4 years had gone by and I was heavier and now on HBP & high Cholesterol meds.

I decided to find a fill doctor and get my life back. It hasn't been easy(grandma used to say nothing worth having is), but it has definitely been worth it. For me fills have been the key (without restriction, what's the point of having the band?), along with exercise. While I am not the gym rat that I probably should be, I've found that simply including at least 30-45 minutes a day of walking, stationary biking or exercise videos not only make me feel better, but helps the weight come off.

food no longer controls my life and THAT feels so good. To any and everybody that reads this, know YOU CAN DO IT!!

That is great! I'm still waiting to finally get in a 14 (almost there, in a 16 comfortable). If I were to get into a 10 I would probably explode right in the fitting room.

Crishell;

That was me, in the car when we left the store I got a little teary eyed. Hubby had no clue what was going on and I couldn't really put it into words. I felt like I could hear Marvin Sapp's "Never would have made it" was playing in the background.

Me a size 10, couldn't be, can't be. I thought something must be wrong with the pants, or maybe they're cut really big. It took A while for my mind to grasp it.

I can't lie, I am so jealout of you right now, but you know something, I know that I will get there. I was a size 22/24, and I am now down to a loose 18. I have gone from a high of 267 to 204 right now, and I know that by my wedding anniversary, I will at least be 160, that is only another 40lbs, but my ultimate goal will probably be 150.

My only question is, what about the skin? Do you have a lot of loose skin or has all or at least most of it gone back to size? :huh2:Just wondering what I have to look forward to.

Thanks,

Congrats on the NSV. I am very encouraged by your "testimony". I was in a 22-24 and I am now in a 16-14. I'm out 1 1/2 yrs and would love to be at goal this August. My problem is the extra fat around my stomach. I know that it's a good 5-8 #'s. I would love to have Lipo but I don't see that happening unless God provides(yes, I have asked him).

Again, congrats and yes, I understand the tears of joy.

I am so proud of you!! I don't expect to ever get that small because I have a really big head (no seriously, I do). But I am really proud of your success:thumbup:

      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.
