*blushing* lol thanks Kel! Still 10kgs (or more, depending on how happy I am when I get there) to go for my goal, but I gotta tell, it is feeling good!

You're getting there too!! Only 13 to go - we'll probably hit it on the same day lol.

Ready for that end of journey party? :( I'll head up to Sydney (was there just over the weekend)...

Thanks for going before me and being such wonderful examples!! Licks for you both :( :( :(:P

Hey Loulou thanks for the compliment. I have and still am going through the huge loss of food thing. I was and still am an emotional eater, so I am trying to find other ways of dealing with issues instead of with food. The reason my weight loss has been so slow is because of this reason. I lose 2 kgs and put them back on and lose them for a couple of months and so on. I am alot better than what I was, but nowhere near "cured". I really wonder if I ever will be. Im also fighting the head hunger thing alot too.

You will have to meet up with Jess and I one day we will organise an Aussie LBT meet up. :(

Kel, that sounds wonderful!! I would love to meet you and Jess!! And you too Teresa!!

With the losing weight and putting it back on thing; what can happen with me is that I get scared. Someone will say "wow you've lost weight" and I suddenly feel undressed. Or I notice the fat coming of and feel vulnerable, then go and eat to correct the problem and make myself feel safe again. I think I will have to try to redefine 'safe' - maybe safe is being fit enough to runaway with-out having a heart attack!!

      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.
