Woooohooooo! Hit ONEderland today and I am 5 weeks post-op today :) Weight was 199.8. Months ago, well it was probably more like a year or more ago I bought aprons as my mini-goal treats so today I will be opening one up FINALLY! Only 4 more lbs til I hit the half way mark and about 10 more lbs til I weigh less than my hubby :)

More and more of my clothes are falling off, my size 20s just fall right off and I was able to comfortably wear a size 16 skirt to Church yesterday :) My 1x shirts are way too big too and many of my XL shirts are getting to be too big too :)

I'm having some ongoing issues still, I was switched from Prilosec to Nexium and it seemed to be doing the trick til two days ago so I will be adding in Zantac today and if not better in 2 days I will go in and be scoped. Praying the pain just goes away.

Also dealing with some major muscle pain in my legs from overdoing it the other day but I was able to be on my feet for a lot longer than I was 41 lbs ago ;)

Hoping I can get the hubby to take some pictures of me today too for comparison shots.

      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
