Ok Ladies I need some help. I love love love love to shop! On a recent shopping trip for some necessities for my 2 boys I decided that I will pick up some items for my post-surgery weight loss. I was looking to buy some clothes from a size 24 down to a 16. Just a few items nothing serious. As I was skimming through the smaller sizes I could not wrap my mind around that I may possibly be in those size 20, 18, or 16 pants and found myself so stressed out that I said forget it and just purchased some summer items in my now size 24. Once I arrived home I was down in the dumps about not being able to wrap my mind around purchasing smaller clothing. Have any of you ladies ever had this happen? If so, how can I get past this? Please inform me if I am jumping the gun on shopping as I will not be sleeved until Sept. 23. Thanks for the advice, Rashaun

Thanks for these faqs. They are very helpful.

Absolutely!!!

Congrats on being sleeved!

I am still pre-op and can not answer your question, however I wanted to just say hello and welcome you to the forum.

That is amazing! Congrats! Keep working that sleeve honey.

September 23rd. Some locals are looking yo start a support group. I am a bit far from you. I am in Lathrup Village.

Awesome! I have been looking for local buddys.

I actually have not been sleeved yet. My date is not until September 23rd. I have just been taking my time to get mentally prepared for this lifestyle change. My biggest fear is not the surgery it self it is the psychological part of it. I want to be strong enough to fight off head hunger and believe that I can get this weight off.

Prayers going up for you. Update us as soon as you feel up to it on your progress.

I was approved in March but my Surgeon had an operation and was scheduling late in the year hence my September date as well. Good luck to you.

Best of luck to you and your friend.

Love that. Thanks for motivating us future Sleevers.

I get a bit worked up also looking through smaller sizes. So far I have just been looking. I have opted not to purchase until after my sleeve.

Neisha I am praying for your success.
