Post your favorite motivational quote for all to see! I personally will be selecting my favorites, printing them out, and placing them in random places around my home/work so that when I least expect it, I've always got a little bit of inspiration.

Here's my favorite... It's old but I think it bears repeating

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

  • You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have

  • · Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect it means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections

  • Life is about falling, Living is about getting backup

  • Smile! Let everyone know that today you’re a lot stronger than you were yesterday

  • · Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind

  • · Everybody wants happiness nobody wants pain but you can’t have a rainbow without a little rainI have so many more but thought I share those for now :)

I have a beautiful picture hung on my wall: it shows a victorious man at the Himalayan peak waving a flag, with this quote on the flag. I saw this picture in a store some months back and was deeply impressed. It really does make you want to strive to unlock your hidden potential to be great! :)

        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.

      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
