Yesterday at the grocery store I wanted something on the bottom shelf. Instead of bending over, I did a full squat and was able to pop back up without any knee pain, trembling muscles, or hand/arm support.

Great job! 100 lb mark, IPad mini..... I take mine to the gym when I work out on the elliptical, so I put on Netflix or a movie and my workout is done just like that..... just a suggestion :)

Next week my office will hold a big international reception to receive a Minister of our country and I just got the new assignment today from my boss that they want me to be the MC of this reception.

Ok I worked for this office for 5 years, we held a lot of receptions and events but I was never asked to do this duty. I know I could do it well because I'd done this kind of things since high school until I put on weight, no one would ask me to do this. Can't help but thinking it must be something about my new look.

Not sure I should be glad or sad about it.

Went shopping yesterday, and didn't try on or buy anything bigger than a size Medium! And I sold a pair of my size 16 jeans on Poshmark, because I'm not going to need them ever again!

I'm only a week out and had my very first NSV!! I bought a pair of dress pants 3 years ago that were way too small at the time, just in case I decided to lose weight. I found them in the back of my closet and decided to try them on...and they fit perfectly!! I'm so excited for the rest of this journey that I'm on!!

I'm now wearing the same size clothes as my 13-yr old son (he's 6ft tall and 150lbs). Never thought that would happen!

I can comfortably sit in the back seat of a compact car and fasten my seat belt without feeling like I am choking.

I finally can cross my legs!!!woohoo!!

It actually happened unintentionally during discussion with colleagues and I just realized it a few seconds later that my legs were crossing! I was like, whao! What I'm I crossing my legs? Almost forgot the work lol

I usually don't sit crossing legs even when I was thinner, but now I'm like a crazy woman, I cross my legs every chance I get because I CAN!! LOL

PS I showed my husband my leg crossing NSV and he was a bit surprised because he didn't know that I couldn't cross my legs when I was fat.

        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.

      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
