A Tiny Step...



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

I have been so inspired by the various personal websites I have been to, and have always vowed to give back by doing the same.

However... :rolleyes: Miss Procrastination that I am, I have never gotten around to it (nearly a year later!!).

But, FINALLY, I at least put up some pictures. No after pictures, yet, but some before pictures. lol

So hopefully the site will grow into something useful and inspiring, but for now at least I've made a small start. Baby steps, baby steps... I don't have to be perfect... lol :sick

I will work on it more, although probably not until late January. For now, inquiring minds will just have to wonder about what I look like now, -70 pounds. lol :cool:

Ditto what everyone else said! I think it is the pictures that keep everyone motivated and excited. I know they do me and my husband! By the way, you were perhaps one of the CUTEST babies I have ever laid eyes on!

Uh, maybe after I grew some hair... lol

Thanks, everyone for your wonderful comments and support. I will try and add more substance to the site sooner than later. :cool:

And I agree that pictures speak a thousand words! Or is that, "take up a thousand bytes"? lol So I challenge the rest of you to get with the program as well! Post those pics!! We'll bring the internet down yet! lol

:rolleyes:

      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. 🤞
