One Year Anniv-Pics To Share



Recommended Posts

Well, ok, tomorrow is actually the one year anniversary. At this time one year ago, I was freaking out and trying to figure out how to get the Magnesium Citrate (stomach content flusher-outer--haha) down. I couldn't do it. I struggled for an hour and finally forced it down and almost brought it right back up. I knew it was the final step in this journey that made it real. Boy was it hard. I did it, I had the surgery the next morning and have not regretted it. NOT ONCE. (yes, there have been some emotional times when I was mad I couldn't eat all that I wanted, but still...NO REGRET)

My husband is down 120lbs

I am down 90lbs

We both have about a 100 to go which, even now, sounds impossible, but I will do my best and hope for the best.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
