Best ever!

When your husband picks you up and carries to the bed and throws you onto it, just because he can ;)

Also, I'm really close to this one because so I am getting excited for it: when you FINALLY weigh less than your husband, because he has never struggled with his weight. 10lbs to go !!!

Realizing that you don't have 100(+) pounds to lose anymore! Talk about a huge weight lifted!

Also going to the store, (not a plus size store) and them not having any of your size, not because you are too big, but because you are officially "Average" so they sell out of those sizes quickly :)

My Husband & I were on a power walk/jog... it had just poured... 1/2 way through the path was flooded out about 15 feet long... he picked me up and carried me through the Water (i had brand new sneaks on & HE didnt want them to get ruined!!)

First time he has been able to carry me! i cried tears of joy... he laughed... HAHA

When you go swimming with your old bathing suit and the bottoms fall off when you get out...or when you look in the mirror and notice how skinny you are getting like my shoulders, back, stomach, legs, and boobs.

I would love to walk up to my front door (8 steps) without stopping or being out of breath. I would love to play softball and go bowling again. But mainly I would love to be healthy again. This is only temperary. I will walk up my front steps and I will play sports again. Its just the beginning.

When I got dressed for work and had to stop, take off my pants, and hem them quick by hand because they're too long since I have less fat holding them up! Had to cut 1.5 inches off my workout pants too!

After 12yrs I'm finally lighter than my hubby but he struggles with his weight, and I can encourage him that he can make a change

      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.
