i really pondered whether to post this or not

(i do not want to come across as bragging or boasting)

however i wanted to share as its pretty darn kewl.

this week alone, 5 people have said something to me about my weight loss (from out of the blue)...3 did not know i have had the surgery.

1. Jennifer who is our companys CFO, came up to me and said you are looking so good.

2. Darielle came up to me and said whatever you are doing, keep it going as you are looking (skinny)

3. Pat who is one of our accountants said you are looking amazing

4. Tiffany said i can really tell you are losing weight.

5. Dunkin Doughnut drive thru lady said wow, you have lost some weight

so i said the thank you and how sweet (and the southern thing well bless your heart)...i am excited that people notice or are noticing....still difficult to say (thank you) but i am getting use to it :)

The Dunkin Donut drive thru lady?!

a) what the heck were you doing at Dunkin Junkin Donuts?

B) I thought southerners all swore to be faithful to Krispy Kreme?

But seriously, I'm proud of you for being able to share those comments. Nothing wrong with bragging on something you worked so hard for!

I always find it easier to accept compliments from strangers. I usually dismiss comments from coworkers and friends as being intentional encouragement. A peril of working in the behavioral health field is becoming jaded to praise as reinforcement.

I still (4 1/2 years out) will get a compliment from someone that hasn't seen me in awhile. While it still feels great, I also wonder-will they always remember the heavy me? I've been this size for 3 1/2 years now.

Of course this is the perfect forum to "brag". There are newbies out there that need to hear it. Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration!

God Bless

      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.

      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.
