I just looked at my ticker a little while ago and realized that as of today I am NORMAL!! (I'm sure my family may disagree lol) My BMI is NORMAL. I'm not even a teeny bit overweight - at least according to the charts.

Nine more pounds and I will be looking pretty darned good and thirty more and I'll be back to being 22 yrs. old again. Well, 22 with wrinkles.

;-)

Itstime how are you feeling? Sis is still a bit rocky.

I'm so excited. Today I was trying to find a little jacket in my closet to go with my jeans. I figured they 'grew up' with me (stretched as I stretched) so they could probably 'grow down' with me too. Um, wrong! Every one I tried on made me feel like a kid trying on Mommy's clothes. :-) So now I have to go around nearly naked because I have so few clothes that fit right now but I don't want to buy more because I'm on the verge of dropping another size.

I have to clean out my closet. It is huge and stuffed full but nothing to wear. Some of the stuff still have tags on them because I always bought at year-end sales for the next year. I am going to have to learn how to sell on ebay.

good for you rosebud!

I too cannot wait for the problem: closet full of nothing fits.

I do have quite a bit of that now at 2 months post. (-40)

I did have to go get some pants, as I was walking out of my pants. Hubby insisted! LOL

congrats to you for being NORMAL !!!

January is already nuts, but definitely February. We'll need to set a date soon. I haven't seen postings by Ms. Yates. How is she doing?

Rosebud,

I am doing so well, still on full liquids but lots of creamed Soups and they help keep my energy up. I try so hard to get in the Protein and Water. What's up with your sister? Is it her meds? I am so sorry she's not feeling well. Hope that everything evens out and she starts feeling good again. I love my sleeve.

Linda

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
