Ok guys, saying my goodbye!

I'm leavin' tomorrow morning. I'm sure I'll be on here off and on while I'm home... but probably not NEARLY as much as I want!

I hope you all have a great Christmas, and an awesome New Year's in case I don't get the chance to say it before.

See you guys, and thanks for everything!

:)

Hi guys!

Well.... my parents were pleasantly surprised, I think. Everytime my mom sees me in a new outfit she goes on and on about how skinny I am! Yesterday my grandparents came down for lunch, and were also surprised. My grandma thinks even if I didn't lose anymore weight, I'd be perfect, so that's nice.

My best friend, or old bestfriend is coming over in an hour or so, to say hi. I haven't seen her in about a year. She knows I've lost 'some' weight (not about the surg). I'm hoping to get a good reaction outta her! And then there's another friend who's in town that I'm gonna see soon. She's the one I'd go to the bar with, IF we go to the bar. It doesn't sound too promising. Oh well... if nothing else, I'll just have more time to get looking even better and wow em' next time. Who know's if jerkface is even here this Chritsmas.

My Christmas present from myparents was clothes. The day after they picked me up from the airport, we went out and did some shopping. I got a couple pair of pants, a few shirts, some pj pants, and a cool jacket. The pants were 14's and 16's! The 14's can definitely be grown into (or whatever I should call it when they're a tad too tight, but I can wear 'em for a while and have them look good until they just get too big!)

I'll talk to ya all later!

Just realized my ticker is NOT accurate! That's cause I weighed myself on an off day, I guess.. I won't be doing it again until I get back, so... guess I'll hold onto this one for a while. I was thinking I would be lucky if I didn't GAIN during this week, but I damn well better lose, for how much I'm not eating! Not stopping myself, just not really wanting to, all that much.

So, I got a "Oh my god!" from friend #1, and a "where did the rest of you go!?" from her boyfriend. Then a "Oh my god, you look amazing!" from friend #2, whom I went out for coffee with.

Guess WHAT! We ARE going out for a couple drinks tonight. I shall report if anything exciting happens! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
