Feels incredible!!! Woot woot!!

When your coworker says, "girl I don't even recognize you from behind anymore" and others say, "yeah I thought we had a new nurse working here until you spoke to me. "

I have had the exact same thing said to me! Too funny! Nurses are great for our egos!

I went to good will (temporary clothing) and was looking in 18/16 instead of 24/22/20. I walk by a mirror and wonder who's next to me( it's just me) my niece saw me in street clothes (we work together) and said crap you have the size you were. Good day good Day

Auto correct. Half the size you were

*When you try on pants you bought you thought you would fit into in a month or so and they are already to big!!!

*When you can move the drivers seat up another foot and can reach the pedals without have to stretch.

* when you walk past a mirror and wonder who is in the room with you

* when your grandson (one year old)takes a while to recognize you every other weekend:)

I love getting to go to TJ max and not having to shop in plus size. I'm 3.5 months out, and have gone from a 20 to an 8/10 pant size. Almost got into a size 8 dress but my bust is still to big. I love 5hat feeling you have lots of selection and can try just about anything on.

When you start tucking your shirts into your pants because you realize that you look more slender that way than untucked, and you want to show off your new bod. :o B)

When your doctor emails you saying your cholesterol results are phenomenal and cuts your medication in half. She will recheck in 3 months and hopefully off for good!!

      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. 🤞
