Thank you Julia! Love you too girl!

I'm feeling a bit better today. Yesterday was just one of those days where nothing seemed to work out. I don't mean I had a bad day really just my insides were crying some. I'm in better spirits today - which is strange because (as you already know Julia) my scale was being a booger... LOL Ahhh well, all it did was make me want to work even harder. Gawsh it seems like the smaller I get the much harder it is to shed these pounds!!

I'm going to kick the carbs out completely for the next few weeks and see if that helps the scale move some. No breads, no nothing. All my carbs will come from what's in my Protein foods. I don't usually do this very often, but it might be what I need to do to get to my goal. I've always said I'll do one thing as long as it works, once it doesn't anymore it's time to change up the routine. Well, it's time for a change. :)

I've already gotten back to my normal workout schedule, so I'm sure that's helping. I also know this is my slow time of the month where I just don't lose a whole lot. My fast time is approaching and I'm going to give it all I've got. I really wanna get out of the 90's... it's time now.

THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!! My mental status is WAY better from yesterday and it's only because of all of you. ^_^:wub:

Glad it's a new day. I'm kind of late to offer anything, but nothing beats a good facial or pedicure to make me feel "pretty" and help me get out of my funk.

Oh girl I totally know what you mean! It's crazy, cuz we've come so far and yet at times feel FAT??? I'm dealing with the loose skin issue now! It's so gross. I think I would be at least 125 if I didn't have all this loose skin (eeewww). Don't get me wrong I'M SO THANKFUL and HAPPY to be where I am today. I just think it's normal to have these types of feelings. Just keep reminding yourself of where you have come from girrrl! Go try on those big mama pants and look at your size 8 levi pants pics...YOU LOOK AWESOME!

LET'S ENJOY THIS JOURNEY!!!!!! It's SOOOO EXCITING and AMAZING!!!! And truly a MIRACLE!!!!!

Love ya!

      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.
