Recommended Posts

I've always been scared and nervous to go to the doctor because I was scared I had diabetes or high blood pressure or any of that, but yesterday when I went, I wasn't nervous at all. I went in confident && it turned out perfectly. Before surgery, my blood pressure was a little high && since I've been eating great && working out every day, my blood pressure is perfectly normal!(:

I just wanted to share my excitement. Lol.

:D

Congratulations! You need to remember your excitement about your perfect blood pressure in the future when you may get discouraged about the scale not moving as fast as you want it to! There are a lot of things that measure success and it's not always the numbers on the scale! You have just had your first success story! Keep up the good work, I have a feeling your going to get the hang of this really quick!

You're absolutely right! Most of the time. I let the scale be the only way I measure my success. Thank you for the reminder!:)

Congratulations!! We refer to these as NSV or Non scale Victories. I think NSV are awesome and even better than the number changing on a scale. Perfect NSV is shrinking out of clothing. My latest was my wedding ring slipping off my finger and not staying on. My Wife wasn't as thrilled as I but we can adjust the ring as we go.

But Laurie is certainly right there are so many ways to gauge success!!

Congrats again, Jim

Jim the wedding ring statement cracked me up! I can picture your wife using a role of tape to keep it on your finger! For us woman as the fingers get smaller our diamond starts to look larger! A positive thing for any man whose wife is losing weight that has been asking for a larger diamond!

I have had several people tell me how "good" I looked this week despite the scale not moving. I am putting in the work and have to remember there are other ways to measure success. Congrats on walking confidently into the doctors office. That's a big one. :)

Grats!! I'm in the same place scale wise. I am looking for a win right now, but the scale isn't cooperating. My rings did fall off though.

We're in the same boat. My rings are falling off too. I'm loving that. I just want the scale to show how I feel. Lol.

      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. 🤞

      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.
