So this past week has been an emotional one for me and a major accomplishment. The other morning around 5am I woke up and decided to weigh myself, I'm now in onederland. I so wanted to run thru the streets yelling and cheering like I won the lotto. Needless to say I woke up my hubby crying and he was ecstatic as well, we were up for the day from that point on. I'm now down to 197 and truly amazed at how fast the weight is coming off. I've bumped up my work outs to everyday and even lifting weights everyday. My arms which were sagging bad and I was getting highly self conscious, they are now starting to tone and I'm actually getting biceps that are visible ohmy.gif. I'm working out like crazy only because the results keep me going, hubby says thats my new addiction (I'm not complaining). Plus I have a cute lil black dress I want to wear soon, hee hee. On Tuesday I climbed Mt. Rubidoux, for those of you who don't know its a mountain in Riverside, Ca. It's 3.5 miles up and 3.5 miles back. It's a wonderful feeling and a beautiful sight from the top. My biggest goals were met in one week and I still get emotional talking about it but man I couldn't of done this without my wonderful sleeve. I would do it all over again and if you are un-decided get it done, you will not be disappointed.

Now to the bummer part, my computer crashed at home and I can't post any pictures. I can only access this website from work and today is he only day I'm working because I'm off to Vegas baby!!!! So for pictures or updates check out my Facebook, I update that allday long from my phone.

Congratualtions and have a great time in Vegas! biggrin.gif Take some VERY comfortable shoes, as I had what I thought were comfortable boots when I went there I walked so much I ended up with blisters that hurt worse than my incisions (I went there a few days after surgery).

Ahh your brave, I didn't leave my house for the first month. We normally go to Vegas about twice a year, its a 2 hr drive for us. I love it there and I don't really gamble. It's just to get away and Celebrate biggrin.gif

      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.
