Okay, BOY, is it sooo easy to up the lbs! Had to go "spur of the moment" to Louisiana for a funeral. Had a great ONE DAY and ONE NIGHT with old friends, catch up etc. Didn't really eat truly bad - had a few more carbs than I have been eating (low carb) and less than a half a piece of cake. One meal at a Mexican restaurant where I ate ONE puffed taco, no rice, no Beans. Came home - next day up 3 lbs! Sad! So my hard-earned loss of earlier in the week - poof! lol I got right back on the horse and exercised by riding 3 miles on my bike last night and low carb today. It's just really amazing to me that now over two years out my body reacts so quickly to ANY change and I have to watch everything that goes in to keep from regaining. Something I didn't anticipate.

On a good note, though - EVERYONE in LA had a fit over my size! (smile) None of them had seen me since the dramatic weight loss. Many compliments which makes one feel REALLY REALLY good! Yaay, Sleeve!

Hi Sleevers!!

Only have two weeks left!!

I think my goal may have been too lofty

Had a few stalls here and there.

But overall I have lost inches for sure!

      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.
