I've plateaued for over a month, and instead if feeling down about it, I wanted to share a little about how my life has changed in the past 3 months:

* Went from a 4x to a 2x in tops

* Went from a 26/28 to a 22 in bottoms

* I can fit in chairs with arms

* I can fit in a stadium seat

* I can fit in a movie theater seat

* I can fit in a restaurant booth

* I went roller skating

* I can run after my 4 year old at the park

* I don't sweat profusely anymore

* I can use a backseat seatbelt, and fit in the backseat of a car

* Training for a 5k. What?!!

* I can still breathe when I bend over to tie my shoes

* I put a recent picture of myself on Facebook, lol

I know there are more, but this is a huge difference for me. I used to stay indoors all the time, I would get winded from short walks and my body would hurt so bad with any physical activity. I stayed away from a lot of social activities because of my size. I'm not afraid to try something new now. I know it's super cliche, but I feel like I have my life back. :)

wonderful... it's great that you are so positive... I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in the number on the scale we forget there are other great things that can happen.. Best of luck to you in the future.. I think you will be successful as long as you stay positive...

      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.
