Thank you :)

One of these days, I'll be brave and post a photo or two. But I'm so freaking PALE that it's a tad embarrassing ;)

Yup! Men want eye candy, and they want arm candy.

We shouldn't it's shallow to want it and vain to want to be it.

But we still want it, and we still want to be it. I think that for me, what's changed is that I'm just not going to apologize for feeling that way anymore :) As MoreganK said: I've earned it! ;)

You have earned it! Enjoy it to the hilt!! :) I plan to do the same!! :)

Well, I am now inspired. Just moments ago took an "after" picture. So shortly I will be posting the first, known to man, ever existed...... pictures. Hey that makes it "exclusive" right :rolleyes: Anyway, I understand how you feel. I still cringe at my photos, but just not as much. :(

Thanks! :) I'll try to keep the bragging and vanity to a dull roar; to be honest, there are still PLENTY of things to feel bad or be insecure about. But after a lifetime of that crap, a little ray of sunshine now and again is a wonderful thing!

I don't know anyone who isn't insecure about something..even the most beautiful people have insecurities! I guess you are now "normal".

Hey! Pale and proud here! LOL I know I'm an odd ball in our society, but I think pale skin is beautiful. That and with my Irish genes I burn pretty bad, so I'm a moon flower and sun dodger. Don't let pale skin stop you from posting pictures if thats what you really want to do. ;)

Well it's not that I really WANT to post pictures! It's just that I feel like I have to back up my bragging with visual aids!

And pale IS beautiful! :)

Getting confidence is a very welcome side effect of the sleeve surgery. Congratulations on being confident--that is a feat in and of itself for most of us. You deserve to be happy and a little cocky! Cheers to you with my Protein Shake raised!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
