Woohoo! Too Good Not To Share!



Recommended Posts

You know it's funny I am down almost 50 lbs but I still see the fat person in the mirror. Well! Not anymore!

Yesterday after church I went to the store while the family waited in the car. I walked in and there is this man making a bee line towards me. He walks up to me and says, "Well, hello beautiful" I stop and look around to see who he is talking to but he was talking to me! I couldn't believe it! I told him, "Well, thank you! You just made my day!" He replied, "No, thank you, you made mine!"

Wow! I was glowing when I came out of the store. It has been so long since a guy, other than my husband, has paid any attention to me. I forgot what it felt like.

I sure do love my sleeve! :wub:

thank you everybody! I am starting to finally feel again. Since I can no longer gorge myself into oblivion I have to feel every emotion and deal with it. I must say feeling "beautiful" was not what I expected from the surgery but it sure is a great addition to my thought process! :)

      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.
