Hello all!!

Its my 5 month update!!! Couldn't be happier!!!

I am in a misses 14 from a 24W!!

wearing plain large from womens 2x's!

I am close to goal I know I can do this!

No lose skin- just a little wrinkle action on my abdomen-- not bad at all!

Some hair loss-- but I am managing-- had a ton to start.

All in all my weight loss has been nearly effortless. I work out lightly 3x to 4x per week to help with the skin.

I am eating a min. of 1200-1400 cals a day.

I have enough confidence finally that I have an amazing new man in my life!

I LOVE MY SLEEVE!

heres a face pic comparison! Thanks for all the support and motivation everyone!

thanks girl! My typical day is as follows (with some variations of course) breakfast: cottage cheese single- 19 grams of protien snack: 1/4 cup of nuts or trail mix of some sort. Lunch: 1/2 cup of a steak burrito bowl from chipotle with everything (including rice and beans) I can make one last 6 meals easy! With 5 chips. snack is a venti iced vanilla latte (not skinny, not sugar free) ! dinner is always chicken breast or pork tenderloin or some other yummy meat with 1/4 cup of veggies. And I always have a snack at bedtime like 1/4 cup of cheezits, or something else carby- small portion!!! Sounds great right???

      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
