Thanks NTA I really appreciate you tuning in! I try my best to talk straight but I get so nervous and think I sound stupid!! I'm so glad I quit smoking and it feels so good to be able to breathe again! My dad is doing a ton better and hes quit smoking for almost 3 weeks now!

I am feeling a ton better for sure and I feel better than ever and have a smile on my face all the time! I have gotten a lot of stares and man you look good!! in the past few weeks and it just motivates me to do more. I'll be 4 weeks post op this Tuesday!! The biggest things that have motivated me is watching other peoples journeys on YouTube and just looking back at how I was in the past 7+ years. I also want to run a 5k at some point and I have started the training last week.

You just need to find the time if you live a pretty busy lifestyle! Just start out slow and then work your way up and don't try to overdo it!!

I kept a diary from prelap band and I enjoy going back and reading it and seeing what I felt. I need to write in it more. Don't it feel great to be on the other side?? I just need to get started with the exercise part! These last 50 pounds might prove to be quite stubborn to get off!

Yeah I was thinking about keeping a blog but I would rather talk about it lol. Yeah it feels awesome and its going to nothing but positive things in the future!

I was going to mention that you need to have a email account to subscribe to me on youtube. If you have an email address (I'm assuming you do!) and just create an account on youtube and then just go to my channel and click subscribe!

        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
