:faint: It has been a year? :faint:

The day of my first consult I was 135ish kg(297lbs). Today I weighed in at 77kg (169lbs). Not bad for a year huh? I had my 1 year follow up today, and Dr said that some time in Sept we would start thinking about a Tummy Tuck, if I get this last 9-10kg off. I think I can do it :welldone2:

I went from a tight 26/28 to a loose 14, snug 12.

Yay me! :clap2: 10kg to go!

Thanks everyone! This year has just buzzed by! I have no idea where it went to be honest.

I was almost a week post op when the "before" pics were taken... And I lost like 25-30lbs on Optifast (I was on it for 3 weeks pre op. 3 weeks of hell) Then I lost another 10 lbs or so before these pics were taken. I really regret no keeping better records. *sigh*

Thanks Kathy, Fee.

My Dr said if it was not for my tattoo on my lower back, he would have thought it was someone else! LOL I have to agree with him, I do look very different.

Thanks guys!

And I have brought myself an anniversary gift! A realy nice gold bangle. It is just devine, cost far too much, and is perfect! I had it engraved "To me, for being me, Love me"

The engraver looked at me like I was a weirdo! Maybe I am lol!

        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.

      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
