I could talk to a brick wall so talking to myself on the way to work came naturally lol!! The support you get is amazing, thats why i started doing it in the first place. You definitely get used to it and it becomes kind of fun :) you should do it!! It's also great looking back and seeing the changes.

Yes, that's how I felt. So, when I pulled into my driveway, I said it's now or never!!!

I just checked it out!! You were great... Short and sweet (If those vids are too long, I usually skip around anyway).

Ive been debating on if I should start a vlog as well. For me, I know it would officially make my choice of WLS open to the public. But, So what?? you only live once :)

Great Job!!!

Thank you! It is a tough decision, because people are so judgemental. I decided that this is the best way for me to monitor my progress & myself accountable. Good luck & let me know what you decide!!! :)

I thought about that a lot too. What if someone i know see's me. Then I said eff it! Atleat i'm losing weight. they probably aren't ........OR maybe they got to my page because they are trying and they need to. You'll be getting a lot of thank yous ...it feels good knowing you helped someone or your someones motivation!! Can't wait to feel that again!

Thats true.... One of the most re-assuring things when I finally decided if this was right for me was watching You-tube videos. its really motivating to see someone just like you change before your eyes with pictures, and learning the ends and outs from their words....It feels as though we are taking the journey with them :D

        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
