My two oldest daughters (6 & 5) asking my best friend if she was sick. She is about 125 pounds soaking wet. She said "no, why?". My oldest said "your so skinny". Then my middle daughter says " we don't want to be skinny like you, we want to be like Mommy". My heart crumbled. I have 3 daughters that look up to me and I need to be someone that they can look up to.

I have a 20 month old daughter that I can't chase on the playground. I can't fit in theatre seats or concert seats. Booths at restaurants got tighter and clothes got smaller. I realized this was simply not ok. Surgery was Dec 4.

I was sitting listening to my friend go on and on about my skills with horses. I was giving ridding lessons by the time I was in JR. High. I would get on a horse now because I feel it's cruel over a certain size. The one that broke the camels back is my ex posted a pic of me on Facebook. And 100 comments later of OMG you were so beautiful. And I didn't even know that was you. Broke my heart. Not gonna lie.

I stopped posting most pics of myself on FB because of that. There are a few, but not many.

I've lost 40 lbs. Better but not where I need to be, started at 334 so it's still a ways to go. Hopeful that by summer I'll be unstoppable!!!!

      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.
