Thank you for all your prayers, encouragement, and good wishes. Now I get to be one of you. I have been blessed way beyond my wildest dreams!

I go tomorrow for my pre-op.

You better believe in miracles! I do!

If there was any possible way to be there Saturday- I would! I have been going non-stop today to get things done. And I have a feeling- it's going to take the entire week to finish. But you can count on me in January. I can't wait to meet you guys.

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC"

I love that!!!!!

Before I go any further- if any of you think my name sounds kinda porn-ish- it's not! LOL I got married in 6/99 and I have had several friends delete my emails b/c they thought it was something from one of "those" websites. LOL

God has certainly blessed me!

Karen- you have been so encouraging to me- now it's my turn to encourage you! Where does your surgery stand right now?

That is so wonderful, I couldn't be any happier for you. It's so nice to know that all of that hard work, determination and never give up attitude brought you to this point and will continue to be something you will find yourself using again during the journey. What an inspiration you are to others, thanks for sharing such super news. Can't wait to welcome you to the 'other' side:-]

Happy Holidays and keep us posted. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. This was meant to be for you, but you already know that, don't you?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
