Just Saw And Felt The Results Thus Far!

For someone who is known for finding the silver lining in any dark cloud, an eternal ray of optimism for her friends and family...I sure am a Debbie Downer when it comes to matters of self. I have been so negative, so hard on myself about this sleeve since I got it. Its as if i choose not to trust it, and have faith in our success together, in fear of failure. When it comes to weight loss, i think all of us VSGer's have come to know that feeling at some point in time. I've thought that its too good to be true..that im eating too much at one time, that my sleeve is stretching etc, etc. Im four weeks out, and as of monday i am down 18lbs since surgery. 28lbs since the start of the process. i should be celebrating that, instead of scrutinizing it. So tonight, I went into my bedroom, and pulled out the little clothes. Particularly, my work scrubs. I fought myself, thinking, "do you really want to do this to yourself?" "Your not going to fit in those things girl, you couldn't get that one pair of pants over your thighs!"

They ALL fit!!! I had two pairs, that i bought small. I wore them things like a second skin. I actually wore spanx with them!! LOL!! I was so mad that i didnt try them on at the uniform store, that i tortured myself, and made myself wear them to work anyways. I wore them twice..Once a pair. My weight was around 236 then..where i always would seem to get stuck. Let me tell you..they fit PERFECT!! Im soo stoked! I had other articles given to me, that never fit, and Im rocking them! Even the size Large Dickies pants that I couldn't get over my thighs..fit perfectly!

Im so excited..It was so awesome to actually see, and feel the results! for the first time! Im going to come back to this post, when i start with the doubting..and remember that this is for real. <3ing my sleve!

Hey, this is just the beginning, in a couple of weeks or maybe 1 month, you will need to buy new pants, because those won't fit anymore. It's exciting. I haven't lost weight for about 3 weeks and I'm noticing that my size M blouse (that I love so much) is actually getting too big. I would have never thought I'd get down past a M. So stoked! Keep up the losing it will happen, and actually it is happening. ROCK THAT SLEEVER girl!

Great job! I have that one pair of pants that are the Shrine To Thinner Days that I can't wait to not only fit in, but then take them to Goodwill 'cause they're too small! Two thumbs up!

Thanks for the inspiration. I feel like I am losing slowly and tend to doubt myself and wonder when will it REALLY start coming off. I weigh myself every day (which I KNOW is a big NO-NO). I just can't help myself. But I am losing about a pound a day right now, although I thought I would have lost a lot more by now.

I am 2 weeks out now, and in 4 weeks I hope to see some great changes like you have! Keep up the good work and thanks again for the encouragement!

You go girl, I have five pairs of jeans with the tags still on them. I can't wait til I can get them on. I don't have my surgery until Feb 29th and I am already thinking to myself what if I still don't lose the weight. But you have given me something to look forward too. Thank you
