This thread is amazing !! I am so happy for every single one of you !! This has just reconfirmed that I am doing the right thing in having this surgery. I'm scheduled for December 17th, and this just gave me the boost I needed to get through the preop diet. Congrats to every single one of you!!

I went clothing shopping today and actually ENJOYED it!!

It hard to know what size to grab because I still see myself as bigger so I take a whole range. When the size small sweater actually fit me I clapped and did a happy dance!! I could have cried. Spent too much money on clothes today but I so needed them and it was such a treat to spoil myself!!

I can remember 6 months ago when I hated clothes shopping and the clothes I tried on were always too small instead of too big. I'm so grateful for my sleeve and proud of myself for working hard on this journey!!!

And...you should have seen my boyfriends face when I showed him my cute new skinny jeans and tight T-shirt. Haha! I told him "they make me feel so skinny". He replied "that's because you are so skinny...and sexy".

What a difference 4 months can make!!

When you get to throw out your blood pressure medication, because your blood pressure is too low.

Also, when your resting heart rate goes from 77 to 64.

When you walk into church a little late wearing a pencil skirt, fitted shirt and heels and several friends come up to you after and say they didn't even recognize you and were wondering who the new girl was!

When you spend weeks wooing a woman and she just up and pulls a disappearing act. Then you replace her in less than 48 hours because you can. Seriously, who invests weeks and then just vanishes? Her loss according to the pinch hitter lol.

This weekend we decorated our Christmas tree. For the first time ever I was able to climb up on the stool without any help or going off balance to reach up high on the tree. And I helped decorate outside, climbing a 22 foot ladder!! I am so proud of myself!

You start to have a little "thing" with your own shadow. Secret glances. Lingering stares. Looking for opportunities to be alone, just the two of you.

Yeah, I've got it bad.

      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. 🤞
