Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy I cannot even tell you. To be honest the weight loss has been quite effortless-- I do work as a nurse and get physical activity that way-- and walk at the mall a few days a week-- thats it. Also I feel like my higher calorie point has helped me a lot too. I eat 1200-1600 cals a day and I have since 2.5 months. I have NO LOOSE SKIN... a few wrinkles on my stomach. I am very lucky!! The higher cals have helped me keep my metabolism up i think. I eat a lot of Chipotle burrito bowls with steak and black Beans. They last 4-6 meals. :-)

Yes, you look fantastic! I'm a nurse too. Hope I don't get all the loose skin either. Do you think the higher calories helped with the skin issue?

Also, I love Chipotle and will keep them in mind when I can eat real food again. Thanks.

      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.
