Things I never thought I would say



Recommended Posts

Sure is hard to buy clothes now. ANy where from a 32-36 depending on who makes it. Very true about the belt. They say you should go up a size and have notice it is usally to large. Even notice my feet are smaller also.

I will also add that shopping has become a unique experience. Before the band...I hated it.. I knew nothing would fit right and I would look like a blob. Now I go in a just pick stuff up. I wear a medium shirt now and I am just about in a 34 pants size. I can wear the expandable ones fine, and the regular just about fit, they are just snug, part of the reason is all this EXCESS skin! I would rather have the skin than a HUGE fat belly. And my rearend...being a guy hurts to say this, but sags now. It looks like mini blinds. Don't know how much plastic surgery I will be able to afford, but I am at least getting a Tummy Tuck. I bought a compression shirt at target, size small, wish it was a bit tighter, but anyways, does anyone know where I can buy some cheap white compression shirts. Paying 15-17 dollars a piece is out of my price range, I need 7 in total, that would be like 119 dollars plus tax.

P.S. I also have noticed I lost about a shoe size, bought some flip flops the other day...size 9! Wow, I felt small. I am wearing a size 10.5 or a 10 in dress, tranning, a casual shoes.

Thanks.

        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
