Shanda you look AMAZING. You are doing so well. Keep it up. It's pretty cool that you started just about the same weight as I did, just 6 weeks later. Looking back at my weight tracker, I was right about the same (180) at 4 months post op too. It really works, it just works.

You are going to make a beautiful bride. Can't wait to see those pictures.

Thanks you look GREAT too Linda! I will post wedding pics!

By the way Shanda, thank you for mentioning theCityDoll - I really like the format of actually watching her journey.

Great, you will enjoy seeing the video posts of her update. Another one that I watched was Kellawanda. I dont know if she is on this site but she posts alot on ObesityHelp.com.

You will enjoy the sleeve, im so amazed @ how im progressing...I know some people have lost 100 lbs by now but Im satisfied. At this rate I should be @ goal by May 1st, 2010 (which is my wedding day).

You can always ask any of us on this site if you have questions!

Shanda, your pictures are stunning. What a beautiful couple you are. I love seeing your pictures at 4 months because they are so inspirational. Just reading "I'm free" says it all. Thanks for thinking of us and coming to post!

Thanks! I do feel very free and so will you!

Shanda - You are looking GREAT girl - the pictures are great and you look so happy - and your future husband is one very lucky man - you two make a great looking couple. Thanks for the update and keep up the GREAT work and keep us posted. DEFINITELY want to see wedding pics!

Thanks for your kind words Vegas, I look at you as a sleeve big sister. You really helped me during pre-op and offered personal support! I will certaintly post wedding pictures in May! Hopefully, I will be @ goal by then (that will make it so much sweeter)......:hurray:

I will check back as often as I can but this school/work (both full time) keeps me busy. The Future Hubby is in school as well so we are both always doing school work! We are both in graduate school-so we are pretty compatible right now. lol

I hope you are having a great 2010......

        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
