Hi all. It's a very Merry Christmas Eve! What a wonderful time of year. I weighed in at 203 today for a loss of 2 pounds. This sleeve is the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I'm loving my life and actually excited about getting clothes for Christmas.

How is everyone else doing this week?

I just got sleeved 12/13/11, so I am excited about my future, But this is a tough time of year for a food addict. For Christmas, I have always done a lot of cooking and baking, especially Cookies. This year Christmas can't be food centric. I bought ceramic gingerbread houses for me and my family to paint & decorate, and we made some ornaments . My DH said, "you know its not eating the cookies that's fun-its spending time together" How right he is! (Note- he is tall and pretty slim, just a little in the belly!)It's so important to have family support. Happy holidays to everyone!

Hey friends! I have not checked in for 4 weeks, I have missed you all! I weighed 211 lbs this morning, making my loss 5.6 lbs since my last check in 4 weeks ago. I am not too happy with this number, wish it was higher, but at least I have lost right?

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with laughter and love! I am so looking forward to what 2012 has in store!

Awesome!! I weighed in this morning at 281.2, which is just over 70 pounds lost since the start of my pre-op diet (13 pre surgery), so 57 pounds since surgery. I think that's incredible! :)

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

      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
