Man...times flies!!! I cannot believe it's that close to September already!! I am totally in!! 4th quarter is my busiest time at work (employee benefits) so jumping into exercise and healthy eating now will help this fall run much smoother!!

Thank you for starting this challenge, Leigha! I always love your posts!

Since I still have a lot to lose, I feel like it will come off a bit quicker, so I'm going to shoot high and set my goal for 25 by Labor Day. Guys - with exercise, is that realistic? I get my second fill on 7/20. My first fill did absolutely NOTHING (1.5 cc's), so I'm hoping my doc is a bit more aggressive with this next one. I'm going to ask him for 3 cc's....don't know if he will, but I guess we'll see.

I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!!!

I am in for 25. Pretty aggressive, but I have kicked up the exercise a bit. This will help with motivation.

      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.
