Sometimes it is just the small things.....



Recommended Posts

When my husband and I were married in late 2010, he gifted me with a beautiful diamond cross necklace. The accompanying chain is very fine and expensive. I immediately knew that the necklace was not long enough and would be more like a choker. I bought a magnetic extender for the necklace so I could wear it comfortably. I hate the extender because the necklace is so lightweight that the extender works its way to the front all of the time. Each time I wear it, my husband is always commenting that the bulky extender is showing. So....yesterday, I put on the necklace and I realized that it is longer than I like. I took off the extender and put the necklace back on me and Viola! it fits exactly how it is supposed to. Feels so good. This weight loss continues to amaze me. Sometimes it is just the small things......

      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. 🤞
