Major goal reached - time to party!



Recommended Posts

Ok, folks. I've been waiting to be able to say this....are you ready? I am officially half way to my desired weight loss goal. I wanted to lose 100 lbs and I have hit the 50 lb loss mark. Yeah! Party! Party!

My surgery was April 13th, so it took less than 4 months! I have nothing but good to say about getting the sleeve and my health:

1) Off the sleep apnea machine

2) From a 3X to 18/20 clothes.

3) Didn't lose any hair (that I noticed anyway)

4) Knees & feet not hurting so much anymore.

5) Self-confidence boosted

6) Can feel my bottom rib cage bone!

7) Can play and work harder and longer!

8) Hubby thinks he's died and gone to heaven.

9) sleep better at night; hips don't hurt.

I could go on and on.....

LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for attending my "milestone party"! It is so great to be able to share it with you all. My sister just saw me for the first time since May and she was amazed. She kept remembering things we did together when we were young and reckless and my husband got an earful of our exploits. Later she said it must be my weight loss, and that I look more like that long ago girl, that brought the memories to mind. I'm not reckless anymore, but I sure feel younger!

Thanks again!

      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.
