Thanks everyone - ya'll always make me feel so good lol.

Vines, its sooooooooo hard to narrow it down to 10, because really, I've loved ALL of my NSVs, but if I had to pick, I think these are probably tops in my book:-

  1. I can walk into a regular clothing shop and fit into stuff - plus, its cheaper than the plus size stores!
  2. My sleep apnea is completely gone.
  3. When flying, I had a good 6 - 8 inches left on the end of the seatbelt, in economy.
  4. I was able to keep up with my 8 year old at a theme park - even out walked her a time or two :)
  5. I can walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like I am going to pass out.
  6. For the first time in my life, I weigh less than my husband. I've always been atleast 5kgs (11 lbs) heavier than him (since we met) and now I'm 40kgs (88 lbs) lighter than him!!!
  7. My wedding dress is WAY too big for me.
  8. My mom brags to her friends and family about my weight loss (something she would have never done in the past).
  9. My thighs don't rub together or chafe when I'm wearing skirts.
  10. I wore shorts for the first time in over 8 years... and they look good 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.

        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
