Not a "Before & After" but a pretty cool NSV: a LARGE hockey jersey actually fits over my hips! Whoop Whoop!!

I def agree with the confidence thing. It's hard esp when you're used to being judged by your weight. I wonder how many guys like me know just because I'm skinnier. It sucks. Things they don't tell you...

If you're ever single and in jersey though... Lol

haha, yeah the attention difference is crazy. But dosent bother me because I enjoy the attention now!

Dang!! How much have you lost? Says? Everyone tells me not to aim or skinny, but "healthy." My mom says she thinks I have unrealistic expectations when I say I want to be skinny. TO ME, when I say skinny, I just mean shopping on the normal side of the store but deep down, I wanna get as skinny as you hehe. Are you on mfp, I'm curious what you eat?

Thank you :) surgery was 10/25 so like 11 weeks from the post pics. I'm 5'4" was 230 now 180. I actually haven't gotten into an exercise routine yet at all. I'm an ER and ICU nurse so I have an active job but after I put in my 13 hours I do not hit the gym or run. I plan on starting to walk n jog (not really built for speed lol) in the spring once it's a bit warmer. I used to be very athletic so I've had alot of muscle hiding under my fluff for years n now it's starting to peek out again.

We are not to far apart:) I was sleeved 11-5 at 240 and today I weigh 199;) I do kickboxing every day for an hour.

I hope to look as good as you at your weight;)

      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.
