Yo yo dieting loosing and gaining for over 20 years. Standing on my feet for 10 hours a day a feeling the knee and lower back pain along with tired burning feet every night for 7 days. Not wanting to ever look in the mirror. Avoiding going shopping looking for clothes. Avoiding public gatherings every time someone invited me. Not being able to find something that I though would look good on me as far as clothes. Basically I was living a secluded life and shutting people out. I said enough is enough life is going on without me. Everyone seemed happy except me!!!!!! I said the time is now. I'm gonna make a change.

Getting to the point that I not only gave up on me but on my girls. Deciding to let them live with their dad so I could work through my own mental anguish. My crushing my bones under my weight , I now have to finish dealing with surgery on both knees, my neck, and possibly my lower back again. I have always been my own worst enemy. Can I learn to be my own cheerleader too?

      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. 🤞
