I actually worked out off/on a lot when I was heavy' date=' so I think it was all just waiting to emerge. Post-op, I started swimming (with a Master's team) around 2months. I did that about 3 days a week until nearly a year post-op, and then I got bored and started doing spin classes and trail running. I'm now certified as a spin instructor and will start teaching at some point when my normal job isn't crazy :-P working out is certainly different/easier now![/quote']

Great job. You look amazing.

Thanks! I've tried a million different mascaras (expensive and drug store), and I keep going back to L'oreal Voluminous non-waterproof in Blackest Black. It's the ordinary/original bottle that is grey in color. Important to curl the lashes before application (at least for me).

I also found when I started taking Biotin for the Hair loss during weight loss that my lashes saw some of the benefit too. :)

Thanks you SO much for all the kind comments. What a way to start a Wed and read all that! Big smiles!

Also, not to self-promote too much, but I have a YouTube channel documenting my journey (haven't recorded in a long time)... EricaVSGJourney. I always found other people's stories helpful. :-)

Much love to everyone...

      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.

      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.
