Off Topic- But had to share



Recommended Posts

For those not on my Facebook, I just had to share ! ! !

We closed on our first home today. It was a very exhaustive, emotional time for us, but we did it ! ! !

When we first married, I weighed around 270lbs, more than 100lbs heavier than my lovely husband. Today, he officially carried me over the threshold. He has carried me around the house several times, body slammed me while wrestling since VSG, but today, he actually carried me over OUR threshold.

AND, I'm 7.5 months pregnant, weighing about 23-24lbs heavier than my maintenance weight (all gained in the pregnancy) even though apparently you can't tell from this picture, I'm super pregnant ha ha ha! ! !

This was such an amazing day. If anyone would have told me 2 years ago that we'd be here today, I would call them a liar. I was still in recovery mode from my horrible complications after my band to VSG revision, my husband was deployed to the shithole, most call, Afghanistan, and I really wasn't sure how we'd make it through the rest of the year.

Today, 2 years later, I'm thriving in a pregnancy, STILL WEIGH LESS than him, and just purchased our first home! ! ! That's all pretty phenomenal if I do say so myself!

AND, NO, he didn't pop a hernia, he was trying to make sure he didn't whack me into the door, and his foot slipped on the tile (plus he had been moving boxes for about 4 hours at this point) ! ! !

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
