normally my silly success stories are related to (something on me or that i am doing) todays silly success is not one but 2 people commenting on my WL.

first was my ole man..do i count that or not?

i mean does he have to say it or get in trouble??

you'd think after 28+ yrs of marriage he'd say it anyhow...haha

no, yesterday, i got home from work and he met me at the door

and said *hey skinny*..looking good..........far from being skinny but def could have tied a brick to my foot to bring me back down to earth :)

second was me walking in to my monthly nail salon appt this morning

been coming to this place for 7 yrs and lyn has saw me at reg weight and at my heaviest 7 months ago..so i walk in, carrying my DD coffee and she said, my gosh you have lost alot of weight

could have kissed her dead on her mouth :)

so to hear someone comment on you (from out of the blue)

made me feel wonderful

i consider this silly success post a good thing.

Isn't it funny how someone can make your day? It makes all the bad days seem not so bad at all. That bad will never equal how great the great feels! Kind of like childbirth, you swear you'll never put yourself through it again! Then you see that it was just a small blip on life's map, that meant nothing compared to the rewards! Married for 28+ years, you are obviously beautiful on the inside and out! Thanks for sharing your story!

You never know who's watching you......

A lady who works the cash register in the cafeteria at one of the Hospitals I go to, flat out said to me the other day.."Wow are you skinny...how much did you loose? 100lbs?"

Mind you, this is a person who I do not know and never have a conversation with other tan to say "Thank You"

But she was obviously monitoring my progress for quite some time.....

        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
