On this day in 2010, I was revised from Lap Band to Sleeve by Dr. Aceves.

Life's good. I'm happy.

More comments to come later, but for starters, here's some photos detailing the last year of my journey (First 50 Lbs. was pre-op):

Thank you all so very very much, and just as you say I'm motivational - I really don't think I could've done this without all of you!!! You constantly remind me where I've been and how far I've come when those days come around and I'm not feeling so inspired. It's a really really tough journey - but like I always say... SOOO WORTH EVERY POUND AND INCH LOST!!!

@Coops - OMG lady are you kidding me?? You have got to be the MOST inspirational person here!! I won't have it any other way, and I'm seriously gonna throw a ticker tape parade for ya when you feel comfy enough to say you're done. *hugs*

You look absolutely beautiful girly. You're beyond inspirational you need to do a commercial. I"m near your starting weight and to accomplish so much in a year is so awesome. I'm so proud of you and I hope I will do as well as you've done in this length of time. One good thing about is you're always ready to give advice and cheer others on as they struggle through their own journey. I love a person who's beautiful on the inside and outside. GO GIRL!!!!! :P

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
