You guys (and gals) WE CAN DO THIS!!!! My surgery is 3 days away and for some reason I decided to get on Youtube tonight to look at before and after pictures. There were people that were 6-10 months post op that have lost 100 lbs!!! Say Whhhattt??!!! (think Minion voice..lol) I don't know about you all, but if you are nervous, afraid, skeptical, about to have a panic attack..hell whatever....STOP IT! Think about what you had to do to get to this point. If you have a surgery date, HORRAY! If not...keep kicking it sister or brother, YOU....WILL...GET...THERE!

With that being said, In preparation for my surgery, I'm writing my body a farewell letter. Farewell to the things I despise, and Hello to the NEW and IMPROVED, heathier, more vivacious, "Divafied", Cant-tell-me-nothing-because-I-have-it-going on, downright SEXY CurlyDiva!

Soooooo

Dear flabby thighs :rolleyes: ,

So longgggg sucka! Sorry, but cha gotta go! It's been real, especially in this 100 degree Louisiana weather, but I have news for you guys...YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!!! Oh, and don't fret dear flabby arms...I haven't forgotten about you all either. No longer will I be self concious about wearing halter tops and cute dresses because you stand in my way! It is HOT AS HELL in Louisiana, and I am ready to get into a gym and work you all OUT! Oh Sex drive....how I've missed thee, and I'm sure my husband has too, lol. Don't you worry, you'll be back soon and in full force :P sooooooooooo HUBBY GET READY!

Signed,

A new and Improved ME!:D

What an awesome idea. On the Biggest Loser, they record the "old self" telling the new self to keep going and why. I might try that too...record myself telling myself how I feel and to keep up the work.

You go, CurlyDiva! I like that letter idea. And really like the video one too, ReJoyce. I LOVE to watch the Biggest Loser, so I think that video thing they do would be a very good motivator for me when I start going backwards with my eating. It should get me back on track quickly to see myself with that extra weight, and in so much sadness 'cause knowing me, I won't be able to do it without tears coming down. :blink:

LOVE IT!!!! I actually stood in the mirror and spoke to my fat.. each individual area and said my goodbyes.. LoL! I wasn't nice about it either. This has been a horrible relationship from the start! It's OVER!

Well said hun! ;)

ALL the best to you on your journey!! :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.

      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.
