Tiff, you look awesome... I got sleeved last tuesday. the worst part was the nausea.. I haven't even had to take any pain meds.. I got home from the hospital at 8pm and at 4:30 in the morning I got that dreaded call that no one should ever get... My younger brother passed away suddenly.. I am so worried about getting thru this along with following the rules of post op correctly... Yesterday, I only had one Protein shake because I have so upset.. I don't want to sabatage my recovery after all that I have been thru to get this surgery.. Wish me luck... Right now my mind is all over the place,,, thanks for listening...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your brother. I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Please take care of yourself. I know it's difficult in the wake of devastating news, but you can not endanger yourself during this time. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. Do not give up, keep sipping your fluids, and rest when needed.

I'm sorry for your loss, there is never a good time for tragedy but to compound it with your own physical and emotional needs at this time - I hope you have a solid support network there for you, you know we are here for you too!!

There's not many things that make me happy in that giddy school girl way, but finding hot clothes that are trendy, fun, and fit fabulously makes me so damn happy. I know it seems so trivial to some, but believe me, NOTHING feels this good. The sweater is a medium, but it's the smallest they had. It's super big in the arms so no my arms are not that flabby.

I never would have thought that at 34 yrs old that I'd feel this amazing mentally, physically and emotionally. Yes, I have my down days, but I no longer feel like the "fat girl". I see "Tiffany" when I look at myself. And, I never imagined wearing 4inch heels comfortably.

Tiff! You look so rockin' girl! LOVE the stripes - another thing we were forbidden to do before, right?! You know what else would also bring the sass to this outfit? a wide black leather sash belt, worn high. I think it would give a cool shape and you are so tiny you could wear a belt over a sweater, imagine that! =)

Thanks chickee ! ! !

I'm still a belt-a-phobe LOL. . . I avoided them at all costs when I was fat, and now I can't wrap my head around wearing one. I've tried them on, and I think this is the only part of my brain that has not caught up with my body. I still see a huge wine barrel cinched in the middle when I wear a belt.

It's cute in theory, but my brain won't allow me to wear one confidently.

      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.
