I'm always cold... I'm so cold it seems from the inside out. Everyone around me is now boiling and I'm freezing my butt off. Could it be more than loosing weight? Maybe I'm lacking a Vitamin ?

I lost a whole size and went from wide width to regular in my shoes. My boobs left and I'm always cold now but I'm not complaining!

I am always cold all the time too. I lost my boobs:crying:. oh well cant have it all I guess. Too bad we cant pick the places we want to lose the weight.

on the good side.... I have lost exactly 80 pounds since the date I called to schedule to be banded. I was 308 in oct 2008 and tonight I weighed in at 228:thumbup:

I have gone down a full shoe size!!!

My son can put his arms around me --- I will NEVER forget the day he did that for the first time!

None of my clothes fit me, and my pants seem much longer....

and the FUNNIEST of all.... I don't "punch" my husband anymore when I am putting on my seat belt... I used to have to stretch it out soooo far that sometimes I would smack him (accidentally...) The other day he said, "Look, you don't punch me anymore when you put on your seat belt!"

I finally recognized the distance between me and the steering wheel just the other day. And to think that my big old belly used to brush against it when I drove!

I've also lost one cup size and one shoe size. I've stopped buying shoes online because I can't figure out what size to order any more.

OMG! This post has me in tears -cracking up @ all the stories!

I can tell you ALL of these stories I have experienced!!!

I have shrunk, my pants have grown extra inches, My butt has shrunk, so I have had to move my seat up... clothes out the door( i have started to shop @ thrift stores for the simple fact that buying new clothes is breaking the bank!) but saddest of all is that the "girls" are getting to know my KNEES not just my belly button!!!

I had to change the seat settings to almost all the weight machines I occasionally use. I switched to free weights and one day I decided to use the machines, I set the seat to the proper number for the calves and could not reach the pedal thing - I had to lower it two numbers just to reach!

      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. 🤞
