Before and after photos -45



Recommended Posts

I started at 264 and now 219. Surgery was 4-22-13. I am having trouble feeling it and seeing it. I mean my clothes are loose and I see it a little. I cant wait until my brain catches up. i wonder how others see me? Can you tell a difference? Just a little or alot? I am serious, I am not being an attention *****. I dont need you to say "you look great"...Just whether it is noticable I lost weight.

I was having trouble with the pictures, I added a side by side, but they are different sizes. My son was making me hold the sword.

Everbody is Right our minds just need to catch up with our bodies I still haven't bought any clothes cause I still am scared to however people do notice more than me but when I take pics I am like really is it just the different mirrors or is this what I really look like I hope that is what I look like cause then I just go with it cause I know what I couldn't do before and what I can do and how my clothes fit now cause they have to be taken in or how they start to fall off lol so look at yourself you will know what other people r seeing even if we're not.

You look so much smoother in my opinion.. Its hard to tell because you see yourself every day. Do something that makes you feel gorgeous.. I do nails.. Don't wear such lose clothing.. Tailoring enhances all the good work you've done.. You look fab..;)

      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.
