Ok, quick rant - This morning I decided to weigh myself since tomorrow I meet with my surgeon and will be weighed, and I didn't want any nasty surprises. Well, I stepped on and low and behold 199.3! Woohoo!! I stepped off and back on like 4 times just to make sure it wasn't some weird fluke and sure enough each time 199.3. So because I am a nerd and love this site a little too much I figured, hey let me grab my phone and take a pic, proof! So I jump back on the scale and WTF 200.2??!? How the hell did I gain a pound in under 20 seconds?!? Ok, so I know I didn't really gain and pound, but it wasn't the phone weight either because I chucked it quick and tried again. Oh well....so close. Under 200 isn't as much of a mental block for me like 180lbs is so I am not actually that upset about it. It was just a quick rush of emotions all changing in less then a minute. I'm sure I'll be at it tomorrow, but if not that's ok, it means it's still right around the corner which means all that much closer to 180. But hey, still two pounds down for my 4th of July Challenge!! biggrin.gif And two more pounds down for the rest of my life!!!laugh.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.

      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.
