wow, Paul... new avatar looks great!

Well guys... great NSV's this weekend! My hubby's cousins saw me for the first time since surgery and they were just full of compliments. Huge ego boost!

I went and saw the Bellamy Brothers and they rocked! I looked good that night too!!!

I am wearing a size 12L Levis right now and I don't know that I have ever worn that size in my life!

I think it is possible that I might one day fit into an 8!!!

That is awesome Telly!!! Must be that ass kicking thing they call a gym! I am at 226 lbs, but lost inches this last week for sure!

I don't even want to put on my other jeans that say 14, just because I can wear the 12's! :0)

Keep it up Telly!!!

Well I'm happy to wear my new 14s! Down from tight 26s! :D I was going to buy a pair of 12s for incentive, but they didn't have a pair of 12M.

I bought Dawg a zip up hoodie today, size Large. Large! He looks so great!

And now, the drum roll please... I bought all my fall tops in the regular section. No more women's department for this girl. Size 18 tops, down from tight 4x's. I was blown away.

And last, but by no means least.. new undiewears! Started at a tight 12 and have moved down to an 8! Thats 12-11-10-9-8! Five sizes smaller. Woot!!

I saw my Dr today. I love that man. He treats the whole person, not just the scales. I lost 3 pounds last month - empty and drinking wine almost every night. He is concerned about the drinking, as is everyone around me. Yup, it's gotten bad. Nothing funny about it, I'm afraid. Last night, I had seven 8oz glasses. That is over 1,200 calories. Dr Cahn said he didnt care about the calories, he cares that I'm self medicating with wine. Before I got home he had called my primary care Dr and set up an appt for me to go in and see her to talk about upping the dosage of my Effexor. He is also hooking me up with some free counseling with a friend of his. I'm grateful for Dr Cahn. He's a good man. He hugged me, a real hug, before I left and told me that he was there to help, and he meant it. Oh, he also left my band empty. He said that before we do any adjusting we need to get the rest of my issues in line. This is exactly what I tell people all the time. How do you know if you need a fill if you aren't even following the basic bandster rules? You cant, and shouldnt. Anyway, I love my band, I love my band Dr, and I love all of you for making this place safe enough to bare my soul for honest support. You losers are the greatest!

I know what you mean P'Nut! I had to up my Prozac because I was mopeing around like I lost my best friend! I think not have food to emotionally fullfill me caused me to go on a down slide.

        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
