Well here I am at two months. I continue to learn new things every day. I reached my first goal of 50 pounds and am thrilled by the weight loss I've had so far. I am also enjoying a few NSV's

*My feet don't hurt when I walk

*I went up three flights of stairs and it wasn't very overwhelming (hee hee)

*Pre op I used to have horrible stomach issues (really uncomfortable diarehha every single day) and I was totally used to it and just figured it was a part of my life. Now I don't feel like that at all.

I am also learning new things all the time. I am learning to trust myself, in the past I have started so many diets and even as I began them knew that I wouldn't be successful. I am starting to believe in my ability. I am learning to question my triggers for certain foods. I have been wonderfully supported by my boyfriend and friends who are willing to talk it through with me if I don't understand my own motivations.

I feel so blessed to be headed in the right direction. I know that I have so much more work to do physically, mentally, and spiritually to be at the place I want to be, but I'm pretty sure that is what life is supposed to be about. Thank you so much for being a support to me, answering my questions, and being a soft place to land. I appreciate you all so much!

Thank you so much! I am actually just starting to exercise formally. (That is not a good example!) I ordered hip hop abs and am gonna try a few dvds, my gym membership expires next month and I work 70 hours a week so I have to have things I can do at home. I am really excited to hear your surgery is so soon! Keep posting and if you ever need to vent or talk feel free to PM me. There are things that happen post op that feel like you are the only person they are happening to, but I promise we've all been there.

      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.

      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.
