Thanks for the compliments! I resized that last pic, but I still hate my thighs.

I'll trade thighs with you! Seriously, I logged off last night and looked at my thighs in the bathroom mirror, and said "OMGosh, how did she do that?!" since my thighs are a complete mess. I see little hope for them being in shape when this weight losss is over for me. I'm not willing to do a full body lift...which is what I need. Yer butt and thighs look GREAT to me! Smooth and even, not lumpy and gross. Plus, you don't have my spider and vericose veins. Oh, and my pasty white skin. Sigh. Please love your thighs for me! LOL :)

ATTENTION LBT MEMBERS: We have found our LBT super model.

Girl, you look AWESOME! And whats funny is that you dont even have tale-tell signs of being overweight. No saggy-loose stuff or stretchy lines anywhere. You look totally normal. BIG BIG congrat's :clap2:

And I absolutely LOVED the kiddie pics. I bet its not long before you and Rox' are wearing the same clothes!

And the last pic... the one where son's displaying his kool-aid moustache - OMG - made me smile! Such cutie-pies!

I just saw this. My goodness woman you are looking mighty fine. It is strange that I've known you during most of this wonderful trip we are on.

I don't see where you need PS though.

The kids look wonderful and are growing so much. Once school starts again, lets do a lunch or I will make Rusty starting dropping me off in Morgan Hill before his meetings in Gilroy. I MISS YOU!!

Thank you so much for the support during my slip, repair and PS. You are one person who really knew what I was going through emotionally, physically, and most lovingly.

HUGS to the whole family

Sincere congrats on achieving your goals, Vera. You look fantastic and I'd fight anyone here over the chance to have thighs as nice as yours! Do you have any before pics anywhere? I'd love to see the side by sides!

Your kids are beautiful!

        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
