1st goal met



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone~

I'm just so damn excited!

Before my surgery I sat down and made a list of goal.

Well, Tonight I met my first GOAL!! 3 years ago I bought a pair of leather pants. I know how 1980's but hey... I could not even get them 4inches to being closed. Tonight I saw them hanging there and THEY FIT.. I buttoned them without even having to lay on a bed. THIS BAND IS AWESOME!

It will be 5 weeks tommorow.. I have been feeling down because I've not lost any more weight. I guess I've lost inches..

YES!!

Hey lady, CONGRATULATIONS!! That's one of those non-scale victories (NSVs) we love! Now, where are you actually going to wear those leather pants to, hmmm? :D

Just a few weeks ago I posted about my first NSV, which were a couple of pairs of jeans that have not fit me since before my first pregnancy six years ago. Well, now both of these jeans are TOO BIG! I've had to replace them with new ones two sizes smaller. Cool!!:D

So let me remind everyone to keep checking your closets--you don't want to discover that outfit you've been saving for a special occasion is now hanging off you. There's gold in them thar closets!

Whoo hooo!!! Congrats!

I still think it's wild to try on something old that used to be too small, and find it goes into the donate box because now it is too big. Alexandra is SO right - keep on top of your closet, 'cause those things in there are getting bigger and bigger while you sleep. I've "lost" a couple of things myself by waiting too long to try something on again.

Good for you again!!!

:D

Ohhhh I had that experience last week. A brand new pair of $80 pants hanging in the closet for 3 years. Never fit. So I put them on last week...too big! I'm going to give it to my sister but have not been able to let go yet!

Buying another pair of pants---$80

Being thinner and having to down size----PRICELESS!!!

Mary:D

Yup, I donated 3 bags worth of clothes just the other week. I kept them, always telling myself that someday I would have use for them again after I loose weight. And when I finally try them on they are too BIG :D

      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.
